Aloha Ty,
He http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en The Microsoft Junk Reporting Tool. Sends the message to MS so they can improve the filters AND automatically deletes it. -Ben- Ben M. Schorr - MVP Roland Schorr & Tower http://www.rolandschorr.com Microsoft OneNote FAQ: http://www.factplace.com/onenotefaq.htm I think everyone is missing what the poster is asking. I don't read his question as wanting to automatically delete any email that Outlook deems as 'junk' email. I think he is asking that, in Outlook 2003 you can select an email, and in the 'Actions' menu under 'Junk Email Options' you can select 'add to junk senders list'. When doing this, I agree that it would be nice if there was a way to also delete this email at the same time rather than selecting email, navigating to 'add to junk senders list' and then having to hit delete (or shift+delete and then enter to confirm). Even better would be to have a hot key (like ctrl+J) that would add to junk sender list and delete. The fact that it is manually being added to the junk list kind of confirms that the sender does not want the email. In fact, I remember creating or having a button that would do exactly what I describe above. "Vanguard (NPI)" wrote: "K in MD" K in wrote in message ... When I mark new email as junk mail I want to have it automatically deleted. I have not figured out a way to do that with the rules wizard--only previously identified junk is automatically deleted after setting up the rule. You are the only person in the entire world that as a 100% perfect spam filter. Everyone else gets to use one that might generate false positives (i.e., good mail that gets tagged as spam). A safer solution would be: - Set auto-archive on the Junk folder to permanently delete after 1 day. - Enable the global auto-archive function, and set to run every 1 day. If you leave this set to its default of running every 14 days, the 1-day old crap sitting in your Junk folder will accumulate until the auto-archive function is ran every 2 weeks (i.e., you'll have 2 weeks of junk instead of just one day's worth). The scheduled interval for Auto-Archive should be equal to the shortest auto-archive interval you configure for your folders (or as short as the global interval if that is all you use). - Turn OFF the Preview pane for the Junk folder. - Enable AutoPreview on the Junk folder (shows first few lines of an item but only as plain-text). - Use OL2003's junk filtering or something better, like SpamPal, to move suspect items tagged as spam into the Junk folder. - Optionally configure whatever rule moves the mail into the Junk folder to also mark it as read (in case you don't want to see that folder bolded when new suspect mails arrive). Then, when you get an e-mail that you are expecting, you can recover from your setup tagging it as spam because you'll have a day to grab it out of the Junk folder. Say you order something online and they send you a copy of the purchase order in an e-mail. Often these get tagged as spam, but you really do want a copy to keep for your records, especially if it is downloaded software with instructions and codes needed to download it again if you lose your copy or it gets corrupted. Same for any e-mails sent by family and friends that happen to get falsely tagged as spam. Maybe Mom goes to DisneyWorld and sends you a greeting mail from Epcot but it gets detected as spam. All anti-spam mechanisms produce false positives, even C-R (challenge-response) schemes. Do you really want to permanently delete it and have no way to recover it? Move it into the Junk folder, optionally mark it as read, and automatically delete the junk after a day. -- __________________________________________________ E-mail: Remove "NIX" and add "#LAH" to Subject. __________________________________________________ |

I completely agree with the hot key suggestion. In addition, it would be very
useful if one were able to deal with these emails en masse, whether sending them to MS, my ISP or dealing with them internally via Outlook. I have many hundreds, and these recommendations are very time consuming, dealing with each email on a case by case basis. Right now, they're all in my Junk E-mail folder, and my preference would be for all emails coming from each of them never to get to my computer at all, or at least immediately go to my Deleted Items folder. OTOH, I also have thousands of safe senders, and it would be very time consuming to add all those to a Safe Senders list, unless there's a way to do that en masse. BTW, on a related note, when will we be able to record macros inside Outlook? That could facilitate this process. I'd like to be able to select one or a group of emails, and have all the addresses added to my Blocked Senders list, as well as being permanently deleted when coming in in the future. I'm currently using Outlook 2003, but will probably upgrade to 2007 when I get a new computer. If MS came up with the hot key feature, how would I find out about it? Is there a way to be put on a new features or patch announcements list? "Ben M.

First, I have several classes of emails I'd like to deal with as they come into my computer, each in different ways depending on their attributes (primarily the email address): 1) First, a very large list, which currently reside in my Junk Email folder, which I have culled so that they are all unique. I would want future email from most of these to be permanently deleted upon entering my computer. I would want the remaining few of them to be sent to my Deleted Items folder, such that if I choose to do so, I could review and choose to permanently delete, but if they got inadvertently deleted without my review, no particular harm done. I have already set up the letter A's worth of these via use of Rules, but it took an inordinate amount of time, due to the large number, and I still have the letters B - Z plus numbers to go..... Hench the desire for a macro. 2) I'm not particularly displeased with Outlook's processing of my Junk Mail, but want to have a prefilter which I set up myself. I can then review any of the new mail that goes into my Junk Mail folder and decide if I want to make a new rule for each or simply just delete it. Otherwise, there's just too much mail coming into my Junk Mail folder and it takes time to review it (unnecessarily for many of them that I'm certain I want deleted). 3) Of course, as I mentioned previously, I also have a very large list of so-called safe senders, but I understand that there is a 2000 entry limit on this list. Is that the case? I'm certain that if I took the time to learn Visual Basic, I could come up with a macro to do what I want in short order, but so far I'm resisting that urge. Even allowing the record mode in MS Outlook would help here. Thanks. |

Delete them and go on - use safe lists to keep false positives down. 3. The list is limited to 2000 but I don't think trusted contacts count towards the 2000, so add some trusted senders to your address book. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: |

BTW, some of the rules may well be working, and if so, I would never know since they would never appear, having been immediately and permanently deleted. One in which I chose to simply send the email to my Deleted Items folder is working, but many others which appear to be identically constructed are not functioning properly. What are my options for getting resolution here? It's consuming a lot of time. I'm considering changing my email address, hoping most of the spammers will not be able to find me, but I'd rather find a way to rule them out, and thus not inconvenience those who legitimately send me email and would need to change their files. |

... Yuck, even the cumbersome and time consuming process of constructing a new rule for each email that I want to have deleted upon arrival is not operating properly - they are still arriving in my Junk Email folder. Creating rules to delete junk mail it an exercise in futility, in my opinion. It's rare that junk mail remains stable in its expression so as to give someone a common string for which to search. The Junk E-mail filter runs before any user-created rule. Most people wouldn't want their rules to sort junk into their various folders. They'd reather have the junk removed from the data stream before their rules sort it. What are my options for getting resolution here? Some people abandon Outlook's Junk E-mail filter and use a third-party option, like http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/ -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
