Rules are not anti-spam filters OutlookPower Magazine - September 2005 Contributing editor Diane Poremsky can't understand why people are so fixated on using rules to delete spam. It's time consuming to keep the rules updated and, because spammers keep changing their addresses (often using fake addresses from legitimate domains) and use creative spelling for their products, it's often a futile effort. You just can't win at this game using rules like this, but you can waste a lot of time trying. In this helpful article, Diane shows you how you should rethink your spam-fighting strategy.
