There are a lot of different approaches to spam-filtering. It has
been shown that filters based on the Bayesian classification is most
effective (http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/spam.html). I never use
Outlook so I have no idea how spam filtering works there.
Of course the Mozilla filter doesn't take them all, I would say
90-95% of all spams are removed from my inbox.
