help. suggestions for filters in web mail, for "Outlook" 2003.

I have 2002 and took a few weeks of setting up filters, adding words, adding this and that and after all the labor I turned filters off because it was only stopping about ten percent of junk mail.

The spammers constantly vary their approach so you have to constantly update your list of words etc.

I report as much as I can of the worst ones to the government site in the hopes that it costs some of these companies some money for my time.

The "Christian" groups really aggravate me. I unsubscribed to one of them and was informed that I had been removed from 18 different lists that they took care of.

spam@uce.gov is the address, you send them the headers as well as the body of the email. Your service provider probably has a spam reporting email address also, you might give it a try.

I have cut down some of mine, but it may be that it is just less spam. I find the knotheads that send a couple dozen of the same one a day shut down for a few weeks, but sooner or later they come back with the same junk from a different address.
