Are you using a Bayesian spam detector? I use one on the Mac called
SpamSieve, and I used to use one on Windows called SpamBayes -- there
was an Outlook plugin for it.
You need to train it by correcting its mistakes. Most of them will train
themselves (mostly) by having you point them to a folder of good
messages and a folder of spam. It looks like you will be able to do
that.
The accuracy of my SpamSieve setup is very good; mine is at about 99%.

To any of you who are in an Advice-Giving Mood,
So, as I said, my Spam has tripled in the last few weeks. I have been
assiduously accumulating spam messages I a folder and am now wondering
if
there is anything I can do with them. One obvious thing I might do is
click
on the link that says, "Please don't send me any more messages like
this."
But, of course, I have been told to NEVER click on any link in a
message I
suspect for any reason. So, then I look the organization up on the
web,
thinking that if the have a website that Earthlink's WebAdvisor
doesn't
hate, maybe I am safe to click the opt out link, but that takes a
time, and,
of course, the web message could always be a spoof. So, then I am
back to
doing nothing.
Anybody got better than nothing as a strategy?
