Welcome to Team One Internet

Spam Control is a tremendous tool in the struggle with spam. But SpamControl only marks a suspected email as spam; it does not delete it. Team One Internet believes that only the end user has the authority and the right to delete their email.

So how do you avoid all those spam emails? By telling your email program to move or delete them automatically. When you receive a spam email, SpamControl has already tagged the email by putting *****SPAM***** in front of the email Subject. You can configure your email program to put all emails marked with *****SPAM***** directly into the Trash folder, or in a separate folder of your choice. The spam never shows up in your Inbox, but it is still in your email program in case of a false positive.

The instructions below describe how to set this up for Microsoft Outlook Express 5.x. All email programs support a similar feature, so check your program's help file for assistance.

In this example, we will create a folder called spam and tell Outlook Express
to send all emails marked by SpamControl into that folder.

Create a spam folder.
Click File...New...Folder. Enter spam as the folder name and click OK.

Click Tools...Message Rules...Mail

Under Item 1 Conditions, check Where the Subject line contains specific words
Under Item 2 Actions, check 3 boxes.
Move it to a specified folder
Highlight it with color
Mark it as read
Under Item 4 Name, enter *****SPAM***** as the name of the rule.
Under Item 3 Rule Description, click contains specified words

Type *****SPAM***** as the specified phrase, then click Add and OK.

Back at the New Mail Rule window, click move it to the specified folder.
In the window below, click the spam folder,
then click OK.

Back at the New Mail Rule window, click Highlight it with color.
In the window below, choose a color to mark spam emails with,
then click OK.

Your new mail rule is now setup. You can review or change the settings at the Message Rules
Window. When you are ready to put this rule into action, click OK.
