I thought I'd just drop in here and share how I deal with spam messages, that works really quite well for me.
This is in addition to the Entourage junk mail filter I have set at maximum strength.
I have nearly the identical setup you describe; the only difference is that I have broken the “junk mail” rule into several rules of a similar kind (“Junk Subjects”, “Junk phrases”, “Junk domains”). Here are some of my suggestions:
Junk Subjects (contained in subject field):
“ “ (That is, four sequential blanks. Nearly no legit mail has that; many spammers put a series of blanks with a code number at the end.)
“mortgage”
Junk Phrases (contained in message body):
“discount prices”
“work from home”
“hardcore”
“xxx”
various obscenities such as “f--k”
“over 18”
“earn money”
“free!”
“stock tip”
“future mailings”
“financial freedom”
“$$”
“one-time mailing”
“joke-a-day”
Junk domains:
Joke.com
free4all.com
I have been amazed at how much of the spam this filters out!
