Running junk filter BEFORE rules?

B

Bryan Anderson

Is there any way that in Outlook 2003, I can run the junk filters
before my own rules? I have rules set to look for my domains in the
headers of mail and move them to the correct folder, but that then
leaves the inbox almost empty. So the junk filter can't find anything
because all the junk has been moved by my rules!

Is there a setting or a registry edit to allow the junk filter to
run BEFORE my own rules?

I created a new rule and set it to be the first rule that is run:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
with
'X-Spam-Level:******'or'X-Spam-Level:*****'or'X-Spam-Level:****'or'X-Spam-Level:***'or'X-Spam-Level:**'or'X-Spam-Level:*'
in the message header
and on this machine only
move it to the junk folder

Hope this helps.

'X-Spam-Level:******'or'X-Spam-Level:*****'or'X-Spam-Level:****'or
'X-Spam-Level:***'or'X-Spam-Level:**'or'X-Spam-Level:*'

I have switched back to The Bat! and have just searched through the
entire email database I have here....about 5000 emails, and only four
of them had "X-Spam-Level" in the headers....isn't it something to do
with SpamAssasin?
