I recently contacted Microsoft since I get some junk mail that has no sender, no recipient, no subject, and no content in the e-mail; in other words it's just blank! Once you've looked carefully at the Rules options, you'll find that you cannot set up a rule when there's no data so that's out. You would need at least a sender, a subject, or content in the e-mail, without any of that Microsoft has no rule to handle this

After numerous e-mails with their support system (a waste of time), the solution-----contact that persons ISP and report it! Can you believe that!? The proposed solution, or should I really call it a non-solution, is just another perfect example of Microsoft not listening to its customers. Now I need to go out and buy yet another piece of software that blocks Junk Mail that treats mail with no content in the "To:" or "Subject:" fields as junk; and most of them do just that

In simple words, Microsoft Outlook 2003 cannot perform the simplest Junk mail rule which is to say that a message that comes from no one and has no content is not deemed junk. How retarded is that

We customers pay good money for software that should perform a simplest of operations and now they would like us to just forget about that and start reporting junk mail to ISP's; like I don't aleady have a job

Instead of bitching about what Microsoft doesn't provide in their product,
find a good anti-spam solution to augment the e-mail client. Only newbies
think the Junk Mail filter, bad word lists, and blocked senders list are
effective. SpamPal is free. There are lots of other anti-spam solutions.
