Outlook plugin that removes spam notification

[beforedawn]

Hi,

I get loads of spam and i am using norton to get rid of it.

I have looked around and it seems that there should be a plugin fo
outlook that means sounds and the tray icon only happen if an emai
goes into your inbox and stays there. Thus spam hits the deleted item
box with no notification of its presence but mails that get through th
filters do make noise and do get the icon.

Does such a plugin exist?

If not I am sure people have written a macro for this.

I am totally new to this spam/outlook problem and any help would b
most appreciated.

thanks

I have also the same problem:
spam is marked with ***SPAM*** ba the exchange server, I have created
rule which immediately deletes (i.e. moves it to DeletedItems) suc
messages. However, there is no possibility to extend the rule wit
"mark the message as read" when using the rule wizard. Also, the tra
icon stays up. This is annoying, since with every spam mail I receive
get the email notification.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
B
