The Outlook Express e-mail client can be configured to
read incoming e-mail headers and filter messages to different folders
based on these headers. E-mails that pass through Sentex, and are considered to be SPAM, are
marked as having SPAM content in the hidden header area of the message.
To have Outlook Express transfer the suspected SPAM e-mails to
a
“suspected_spam” folder, follow these steps:
-
Start Outlook Express
-
In the Outlook Express window, select
the area where you would like to place a new mail folder.
-
Select New, and then Folder from
the File menu. -
A new folder titled untitled folder will
appear.
-
Edit the folder name by typing (without the quotes)
“suspected_spam”.
-
Select Mail Rules... from the Tools
menu.
-
Click the button New Rule.
-
In the Rule Name field, type (without the
quotes) “SPAM Filter”.
-
Only check the option Apply to incoming.
-
In the Criteria section, on the first
pull-down menu of the first row, select Specific Header.
-
In the Header Name field, type (without the
quotes) “X-Spam-Status:”.
-
In the Criteria section, on the second
pull-down menu of the first row, type (without the quotes) “Yes”
and click Add.
-
In the Action section, on the first row,
select Move message.

from the pull-down menu.
