I wasn't wanting to get into a discussion of spam reporting sites, but
thanks for your OPINION....
I was just trying to figure out how this rule could be written. I
like the spam reporting site I use, works great, and gets about 90% of
the crap that comes in.
And the spam reporting site DOES have you review it, this just helps
me automate the process.
Well, if you are using a rule to move a suspect item into the Junk
folder then you could add action clauses to that rule to forward a copy
(probably as an attachment) using a template to whatever is the other
target e-mail address. If the junk is getting adding by something else
(Bayesian/junk filter in Outlook, some anti-spam plug-in you installed
into Outlook, etc.) then you can't use a rule. Rules in Outlook fire
only when a new item is received into the Inbox. They won't fire later
which means you would need to manually run the rule sometime later and
also point at the Junk folder when you run those rules.
You could get the SpamGrabber (formerly OLSpamCop) plug-in for Outlook
which adds a toolbar. You could then select multiple e-mails in the
Junk folder and send them to whatever e-mail address you specified in
SpamGrabber to report those e-mails as spam - assuming your spam
reporting service can accept multiple attachments in a single email to
separate them for multiple spam reports. The plug-in can send one
e-mail with multiple attachments, one for each selected e-mail to report
as spam, or as separate e-mails.
I use SpamGrabber to send reports to SpamCop but send them individually
rather than as multiple attachments on one e-mail. But then I only get
one or two spams per day that leak past the server-side spam filter and
my client-side spam filter, so automation really isn't necessary,
especially considering any automated reporting scheme means a delay in
getting back the e-mail from SpamCop to complete the submission and I
would have to cancel the reports for the false submissions.
