Spam Control and Outlook

I've had great success in automatically sorting loads of spam messages daily
by using the built-in features of Outlook 2003. In Tools/Options/Junk
Mail/Options Tab I check the "Safe Lists Only" button, even though I do not
have anything on the Safe List. I also check the "Also trust e-mail from my
contacts" box under the "Safe Senders" tab. This puts junk mail in the Junk
Mail folder, and I can easily scan the folder to see if a legitimate sender
(who is not yet a Contact) has been captured there. This feature saves me a
tremendous amount of time, as I receive about 150 junk emails per day.

Unfortunately, this function is not exactly the same in Outlook Web Access
for SBS 2003, and does not cull out the non-Contacts emails. Also, I suspect
it is not available for sorting email via a mobile device. We are
contemplating using the new Treo handheld, but I dont want to have to
struggle with sorting a large volume of junk mail using a handheld device.

Any suggestions, or upgrades on the horizon which will provide this Outlook
2003 feature in OWA and Mobile?

Thanks!
 
You are better served by posting this to an Exchange group as Outlook Web
Access is a function of Exchange, not Outlook.

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
