Anyone managed to set up a rule in Outlook 2003 to filter out image spam?

It's doing my nut in :(:(:(:confused:

Its doing my head in to, getting worse each week.

We use a commercial mail filtering service at work as the number of junk emails arriving was so bad.

Now we get almost none

I'm using Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 and it seems to get most of them with the default rules. I have seen some info about this though...I'll see if I can track it down.

[Edit]Found it, it was actually advice for Thunderbird but it also works in Outlook (but not Outlook Express), you need to create a new rule which checks the message header for specific words and add the words "multipart/related" and then add an exception if the sender is in your Outllok address book. There is a potential for a large number of false positives though so check it until you have confidence in it! YMMV [/Edit]

For the full version of Outlook use Spambayes from here:

SpamBayes: Windows platform

which works brilliantly.

For Outlook Express you can also use it but only as a standalone application. Instructions on the link.

HTH.

We use a commercial system at work, currently blocking 200 spam messages per hour. I have yet to find a good home solution.

Two or so years ago I got so peed off with Spam in general - and I'd tried just about every Spam program going - I changed my email address (notified friends and 'essentials') and started being careful as to who I gave my email to.

Now I just get the one bugger - about three times a week.

SpamBully is pretty good with image spam. I've used it about a year.
