You have just created a folder and a rule -
the rule tells Outlook Express to move any messages tagged with the
subject POSSIBLE SPAM will be delivered to the Spam folder that you
created.
We have found our mail filter to be
approximately 95% - 99% accurate. Now that suspect junk mail moves
into a separate folder you can quickly look at it for anything of interest
and then erase everything out of the folder.

| What
do I do if some of my legitimate email gets tagged as POSSIBLE SPAM ?
|
If a legitimate email gets tagged as possible spam &
the sender email address is valid & you would like to respond to the
email, simply REPLY to the email address & delete the spam warning from
the subject line.
If a legitimate email gets tagged as possible spam
& it is a promotional announcement or newsletter from companies you have done business with
& you want to continue receiving this email without a spam tag in the
future,
- forward the email to: goodemail@intercape.com
- include the "email headers" along with the entire message
We will look at these and they will help us tweak the system so that
they are no longer tagged.
