Outlook 2007 on Vista and Junk email reporting tool issues

[Gabriel Lozano-Moran]

I have Windows Vista Ultimate RTM bits installed and Outlook 2007. I have
also installed the Junk Email Reporting Tool from Microsoft. When you
receive for example 5 junk email and you report these 5 mails you will
notice that these will not be sent out and stay in the Outbox.

However opening these 5 items in the Outbox and manually clicking on Send
will sent the email. I have noticed that this is a Windows Vista only
problem and that it runs fine on Windows XP.

Is there a system setting I need to change to make this work? It seems like
some kind of built-in protection to prevent sending out SPAM or something.

I have exactly the same problem though only some emails stay in the outbox
and only sometimes (50%).

Haven't found a solution yet, but keep me posted as well

Hello Ronnie

I seriously can't believe that we are the only ones having this problem!

I'm having the same issue as well. Additionally, I would like to see a
capability to select multiple messages to send out. The reason is that I
have the preview pane on, and do not want to click on the junk email and
have it displayed.

I too have this issue. Vista + Office 2007.

To Ben: I doubt they will ever make this functionality. Frontbridge (the
company MS purchased and now handles their SPAM technology) requires each
spam submission to be one email that has the headers included in the body
plus the actual message attached. If you try a manual SPAM submission to
(e-mail address removed) you will get a statement regarding that requirement.
Most companies/ISPs that handle spam submission requests follow this type of
procedure.

This is most likely because their system processing these spam submissions
is automated. It would be very hard to differentiate the multiple headers
within one body + multiple attachments so it would be obvious to keep one
message per submission.

I guess it's not to say the junk mail tool couldn't just do batch processing
of all of the emails you want to submit (highlight all, click, let the tool
do multiple one-email submissions for each), but I imagine that could have
potential to render your outlook client unresponsive if you try to submit a
lot. Ultimately it would be harder to implement something like that while
not introducing a lot more issues that would inconvenience the end - user
more.

That's just my opinion however.
