Of course I have spam filters but I can't say that they are as effective as you claim. Maybe it's Outlook that sucks in this respect... It's not as easy as before to compose those rules by yourself - the subject just doesn't tell and the text body is build up by some random characters and an image with the real message. During 14 days I have about 100 mails automatically moved to my Junk mail folder but it should be about 300. The other 200 mails I have to move myself. /Peter
