How to Move SPAM From your Outlook Inbox and send it to Junk email

The MIS department is aware that some users are experiencing a problem with how the Exchange system and Outlook is handling their Junk E-Mail and they are diligently working to resolve this issue in a timely manner.

 When the system identifies an e-mail as SPAM, it inserts the following text in the subject line - Subject: [SPAM] - Fw: <misc text> - Bayesian Filter detected spam. If working correctly these e-mails should then be directed to your ‘Junk E-Mail’ folder. Some users instead are having these e-mails directed to their ‘Inbox’. If you are one of these users, please do not forward these emails to spam@usd259.net as they have already been identified as SPAM, they’re just not being directed to the correct folder.

 If this is happening to you, please follow these steps to setup a ‘rule’ in Outlook so these junk e-mails will be directed to your ‘Junk E-Mail’ folder in the future. The following procedure is for Outlook X/P. If you have a different version, the steps will vary slightly.

1)       Open Outlook
2)
       Tools
3)
        Rule Wizard

(a)    Move message based on content

1.       Specify words

i.        Type in [SPAM]      Note: you must include the brackets

i)        Click on ‘Junk E-Mail’

(a)    Click OK
