hello,

regarging outlook 2003 (and outlook express)
apparently it is not possible to set mail rules based header fields (like
X-Spam,...). i don't this can be true...

how can rules be defined based on fields in the mail's header?

thanks, volker.

Use the "with specific words in the message header" condition.

Dear Brian - you were kind enough to help this previous caller, can you help
with this related question?
I use Spambayes spam scorer (Outlook add-in) which scores spam according to
its certainty. This has permitted a new user-defined field header called
"Spam", the actual fields contain a number representing the scorer's %
"certainty" - a 0% represents ham, 100% represents spam. I would like to base
a rule on the numerical content of this specific field. Can this be done?
Many thanks
Geoff Rendall

Since rules are string-based and cannot perform quantitative numeric
comparisons, I can't think of a good way to do that off the top of my head.
I have no experience with Spambayes, so I don't know if it can manipulate
messages based on that rating.

Brian, thanks, for your prompt and informative reply. I will give up the idea.
BTY, SpamBayes is an open source project which gives very good results.
Recomended...but don't tell Bill!
Thanks once again
Geoff
