A silly question. If I have downloaded my messages to Outlook and want to send one of these to a mailbox for spamseeder to work on it, how can I do this? I have already downloaded the message? If I forward it then it will add new headers.

You may have better luck putting your key words (viagra) in the phrase list With IMail 8.01 all HTML Code is stripped out of the message then sent on to Phrase and Statistical Filtering. So Viag<!-- Comment -->ra in the message source would be seen as viagra to the phrase list, making it much easier on you by not having to create rules to skip around these tactics. You may also want to start using the messages that are getting past the AntiSpam check and "re-educate" it There is a utility called antispamseeder.exe in the IMail directory that is used for this purpose. Take all messages getting thru and place them in one mailbox on the IMail server Then run the AntiSpam seeder on them antispamseeder -spam -hMAIL.YOURHOSTNAME.TLD -mX:\IMAIL\USERS\SPAM\MAIN.MBX (obviously you need to insert the correct mail host and the correct path to the mbx file but it should help with the messages getting thru hope this helps Mike Barber Software Tester Ipswitch Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andrew Forbes Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 10:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Antispam features not working very well. I am using rules and the kill list, but I'll take reinforcements any day! I've actually been curious to see what other are doing with their rules, so I'll check it out and see what I can incorporate.
