One man's idea of spam is another man's idea of good mail, so letting 50% of
the users decide it's spam (especially if only a few report it) is a bad
idea. Better is to enable spam scanning on the server side - this gets rid
of all the real spam such as the junk currently going around with subjects
such as '[sender] wrote:' My mail server uses ORFEE from vamsoft.com and it
gets rid of a ton of this crap.

Mr. Schmidt, I also have new Outlook but there is nothing like You
describe
there!
I got this "Junk Mail" option mentioned before, but I was never able to
find
it......
I also recommended to MS to start hiring professionall programmers to make
their operating systems, but then there would be no bugs and things would
be
working perfectly, so what would MS sell as new OS to users :-((
Spam mali would be fast finished if user can block unwanted mail, and all
is
necesary is to block mails with same hyperlinks that unwanted mail is
driving
users to read, dont You think? I am professionall programmer and I can do
it,
but You know what? Nobody would let me do it, because then webmasters
would
not earn money on spam and pornography
I can also make inteligent routine for recognition of words that spamers
use, which would not be confused by extra spaces or speciall characters
spamers put in to fool spam filters.......
Also, there should be central database of blocked emails, and when 51% of
users decide to block something, then this WEB page or even server should
be
shut down permanently! Antivirus control should also be put on servers, to
stop sending
viruses, so then there would be no possibility that another computer would
be infected, is that not so?
All the best from Marijan Pollak!
But, as long as MS is leting hackers to find weak spots in their programs
instead of making sure such dont exist in first place, we would all
suffer!

Hi Chuck,
Go into Tools, Options, Junk Email and switch your junk email filter
off. Then close and reopen Outlook and switch the junk email filter back
on.
Any improvement?

On my initial upgrade to 2003 to 2007 I recieved over 300 spam emails.
I can
only assume that Outlook 2003 was blocking them and 2007 is not. Why
is
that? Has anyone experienced similar problems?
