Can I use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express to filter Spam?
Microsoft Outlook Express is not capable of filtering mail with ‘custom’ headers, which is a pre-requisite for using the Monash Client-Side email filters. In this case your best option is to use server-side Spam filtering, which filters email PRIOR to being accessed by Outlook Express or using another support Monash email client (e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird). The more powerful Microsoft Outlook CAN filter mail although it is preferred that you use the Monash supported client. Visit the Client side filters for Outlook page for brief instructions on enabling email filters in Outlook.
