I've been using the Trial of Office 2007 for about two weeks, and I've
been enjoying it a lot, will be buying it shortly, unless I can
convince the people at my office to pay for it for me instead.
Anyway, it's about spam filtering and rules. I have rules set up
for a lot of work related things, but the messages are still going to
the junk email folder. My guess is Outlook is seeing the content as
spam and filtering it that way even though it is not, and despite a
rule existing.
I'm coming from Pegasus Mail, which had a really good built in
bayesian filtering. Before Pegasus added that, I used to use POPFile
as an external bayesian filter. I didn't want to use POPFile for
Outlook, because I found that since it was essentially an external
proxy, it slowed things down.
What I was hoping you could do with Outlook was this. If I define a
rule for email, that alone would bypass it from the junk email
filter. If I bother to set up a rule, I don't want Outlook looking at
the junk email filter for that. I can't simply "trust all email sent
to/from" the respective emails, because these are publicly available
addresses, and are on every spammer's list from here to kingdom come.
For that reason, I can't use the "trust".
Since Outlook has no ability to "learn" (aka bayesian), I'm not sure
what to do about it. The "Mark as not Junk" option on a piece of junk
mail is kind of useless. As far as I can tell, all it does is move it
back to the inbox - kind of pointless.
Is there a bayesian filter addon for Outlook 2007? That would solve
this completely I would think. If that doesn't exist, is there any
way around what I'm running into?
