Message Executive 2003 Help


Toolbar Button & Menu Option - Add to SPAM Rules

The "Add to SPAM Rules" option is available as a toolbar item.  It will appear on the Outlook toolbar as a blue garbage can. You can also select "Add to SPAM Rules" from the Tools menu under the Message Executive option.

When you select "Add to SPAM Rules", the current message selected and the Add to SPAM Rules window is displayed asking you what you would like to do with the message.  The window will have the message subject and the sender's address displayed at the top of the window.  You then have six (6) options to choose from.  Each of the options is described below.

Open SPAM Rules page so I can customize my SPAM settings

This option does not impact the current message at all, but instead opens up your SPAM configuration settings.  You can then make whatever changes you need to your SPAM rules.

All messages from [domain.com] should be treated as SPAM

This option will display the domain name for the current message and if OK is selected, it will add the domain name to the list of Reject Domains.

All messages from [domain.com] and its child domains should be treated as SPAM.

This option is the default.  It will take the current domain name of the message and add it to the Reject Domains however, it will put the * symbol in front of the domain to ensure that any domains that belong to the current one are also rejected.

Add the following word as a SPAM condition

By selecting this option, you have the opportunity to enter a word or phrase to add to the Reject Content list.

Delete just this message.

This option simply moves the message to Deleted Items

Don't do anything with this message

This option is the equivalent of clicking the cancel button since it will not do anything to the message, nor will it modify any SPAM conditions.
