I'm in the same boat as Bob here, even to the point of deleting the spam without always checking. I've not seen a false positive in months. I have seen some spam slipping through, but identifying it to SpamSieve usally means that nothing like that will slip in again. However, I believe the spam filter in Entourage will be considerably improvedonce we get a new version of Office, which should happen within the next five or six months, I'd think. (Time factor just a guess on my part.) Until that time, I'm relying on SpamSieve. -- Microsoft MVP for Entourage/OE/Word (MVPs are volunteers) Allen Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Entourage FAQ site: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> AppleScripts for Outlook Express and Entourage: <http://members.thinkaccess.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Scripts/> Entourage Help Pages: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
