How do I turn off Outlook's Junk E-mail filter?

[Guest]

I'm trying to turn off Outlook 2003's Junk E-mail filter. If I set the Junk
E-mail filter to "No Automatic Filtering" it is still not totally turned off.
How can I totally turn this off? Thanks.

I'm trying to turn off Outlook 2003's Junk E-mail filter. If I set
the Junk E-mail filter to "No Automatic Filtering" it is still not
totally turned off.

Why do you believe this?

Because e-mails continue to be sent to the Junk E-mail folder dispite the
fact that I have "No Automatic Filtering" checked. Although I can
continually update my Safe Senders list to prevent specific senders from
going to Junk E-mail, I'd just as easily turn off Junk E-mail filtering
entirely. Thanks.

the fact that I have "No Automatic Filtering" checked.

And if you read the words next to that selection, you'll see that they say
"Mail from Blocked Senders is still moved to the Junk E-mail folder." If
you don't want the message moved, remove the senders' addresses from the
Blocked Senders list.

I am having the exact same issue. My blocked sender list is empty. I have
detect & repaired. Still not fixed. I also have internal systems that do
not send the domain as part of the email address. This is not compatible
with outlook's junk filter as a safe sender, even though it matches the
examples listed. I just want to turn the darn thing off. Our enterprise
mail filter kills 95% of all spam, so outloo0ks filter causes more problems
than it's worth.

Right-click on an Inbox message, select Junk Email --> Junk Email Options
.... "No Automatic filtering .." disables it but still moves blocked senders
to Junk.

Thanks for the response, but you missed the information from higher in the
thread.

No Automatic Filtering is selected.
Blocked Sender List is empty.
Detect and Repair has been run.
All patches are up to date.
This is happening on not just one pc, but several in our enterprise.

Junk Filter still moving messages to junk folder.

In addition, The Safe Sender list does not always take entries matching the
exmples provided. The example shows a gTLD domain without the "@" however,
ever entry I make Outlook add the "@". We have internal systems that provide
smtp alerts, however they do not use fully formed smtp addresses.

Once again, we are under an EA license, and would really like to turn this
feature off, it server no purpose in our enviorment other than frustrating
ourselves and our end users.
Thank you for your help.

You have *some* rule that is doing this. The feature just doesn't get
activated by itself. It's either serve or client side so you need to examine
the cause more closely.

I am having the same problem with all 50 computers since we upgraded to
Outlook 2003. We are running Exchange Server 2003 without the Intelligent
Message filter installed and all service packs. Every email we receive from
certain domains cnb.com and yahoo.com automatically move to the junk folder.
I have disbaled all the rules, including the web client rules for filtering
junk mail to no avail. We are not running any SPAM software at all. The only
common link I see to the other people in this forum is that we are running
Norton A/V Corp 9.x

This has to be a known bug as I have the same problem with my own Exchange
2003 Server at home.
