To enable Spam Assassin in Outlook

·         Start Outlook

·         Click on or select "inbox" in your mail folders (NOTE: you may have to turn on folder view if it is not already on to select the Inbox folder.)

·         Right click with your mouse on the inbox folder and from the popup menu select "new folder"

·         For the name of the folder enter "spam mail" and click ok

·         From the outlook menu list click on "tools" and select "rules wizard" or "rules and alerts"

·         Click on "new"

·         Select "start from a blank rule"

·         Highlight "check messages when they arrive"

·         Click "next"

·         Scroll down and look for the line "with specific words in the message header" and place a check in the box to the left of it.

·         In the box below, click on the underlined words "specific words"

·         A new option box will open, enter "X-Spam-Status: Yes" (without quotes) and click the "add" button (be sure you leave a blank space between the colon and the word Yes)

·         Click "next"

·         Look for "move to a folder named" and place a check in the box to its left

·         In the space below, click on the underlined word "specified"

·         From the folder list, scroll to and select the folder spam mail, the folder you set up in steps 3 and 4.

·         Click "next" and "next" again and for the name of the rule enter "spam marking"

·         Click "finish" (NOTE: Make sure that there is a check in the box to the left of the rule you just created and click ok.)

This should move much of the spam you receive to the spam mail folder where you can review and delete it.
