Outlook 2007 Filter.txt file???
All: Does Outlook 2007 have a viewable list of filters like previous versions of Outlook? The reason I ask is that a corporate wide e-mail was considered junk mail by several people's junk mail filters and upper management wants to know why... I've had this happen before when someone sent an e-mail saying, "Over 1800 customers...." and Outlook 2003 filter saw "Over 18" and considered it junk mail. How can I determine why an e-mail was considered junk? The email was sent internally, on same domain, same exchange box, etc... Thanks!

No there is no viewable list. Outlook 2007 does not use a filter.txt file and hasn't for several versions. if you could figure out why it was marked junk, spammers can also figure out why... -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM <atumas@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1194305534.115185.19690@e9g2000prf.googlegroups.com... > All: > > Does Outlook 2007 have a viewable list of filters like previous > versions of Outlook? > > The reason I ask is that a corporate wide e-mail was considered junk > mail by several people's junk mail filters and upper management wants > to know why... > > I've had this happen before when someone sent an e-mail saying, "Over > 1800 customers...." and Outlook 2003 filter saw "Over 18" and > considered it junk mail. > > How can I determine why an e-mail was considered junk? > > The email was sent internally, on same domain, same exchange box, > etc... > > Thanks! >
outlookmvpNo, the filters.txt file was removed for Outlook 2003. OL uses a new spam filter updated regularly via the Windows Updates site. The filtered words and their weights are stored in a dll and not in a txt file anymore. It was too easy for spammers to create mail that avoided the older (simpler) scheme. -- Thanks, John Guin OneNote Test Team http://blogs.msdn.com/johnguin "atumas@gmail.com" wrote: > All: > > Does Outlook 2007 have a viewable list of filters like previous > versions of Outlook? > > The reason I ask is that a corporate wide e-mail was considered junk > mail by several people's junk mail filters and upper management wants > to know why... > > I've had this happen before when someone sent an e-mail saying, "Over > 1800 customers...." and Outlook 2003 filter saw "Over 18" and > considered it junk mail. > > How can I determine why an e-mail was considered junk? > > The email was sent internally, on same domain, same exchange box, > etc... > > Thanks! > >
