Outlook 2007 Filter.txt file???

[atumas]

All:

Does Outlook 2007 have a viewable list of filters like previous
versions of Outlook?

The reason I ask is that a corporate wide e-mail was considered junk
mail by several people's junk mail filters and upper management wants
to know why...

I've had this happen before when someone sent an e-mail saying, "Over
1800 customers...." and Outlook 2003 filter saw "Over 18" and
considered it junk mail.

How can I determine why an e-mail was considered junk?

The email was sent internally, on same domain, same exchange box,
etc...

Thanks!

No there is no viewable list. Outlook 2007 does not use a filter.txt file
and hasn't for several versions.

if you could figure out why it was marked junk, spammers can also figure out
why...

No, the filters.txt file was removed for Outlook 2003. OL uses a new spam
filter updated regularly via the Windows Updates site.

The filtered words and their weights are stored in a dll and not in a txt
file anymore. It was too easy for spammers to create mail that avoided the
older (simpler) scheme.
