Rules in Outlook 2003

[Chuck Traywick]

Someone picked up my email address on one of these forums.

I'm trying to figure out how to block spam.

The rules do not seem to work except once.

Is there a technique to applying rules to block spam?

Anyone else victims of SWEN ?

How did others repair this?

Thanks

Chuck

Hi Chuck!

Someone picked up my email address on one of these forums.

I'm trying to figure out how to block spam.

O2003 does not use rules to block spam. You can configure the spam filter by
accessing the menue "actions">"junk-e-mail" (could be slightly different in
your language)

Anyone else victims of SWEN ?

No, but you can get information from MS regarding this worm and Outlook:

How did others repair this?

Others may use free tools like this one:

Use common words such as Inet, Virus, Patch, MS, etc. in your rules to
filter mail.
