Reducing Spam
Set an appropriate security level in your e-mail software (Windows Mail for
Windows Vista or Outlook Express for Windows XP) for sorting e-mail that
you receive.
Windows Vista
1 Click Start
→ All Programs→ Windows Mail.
2 Click Tools→ Junk e-mail Options.
3 Select the protection level you want:
•
No Automatic Filtering. Click this option if you want to stop blocking
junk e-mail messages altogether. However, Windows Mail continues to
block messages from domain names and e-mail addresses on your
Blocked Senders list.
•
Low. Click this option if you don't receive many junk e-mail messages
and want to block only the most obvious junk e-mail messages.
•
High. Click this option if you receive a large volume of junk e-mail
messages and want to block as many as possible. However, you should
periodically review the messages in your junk e-mail folder to ensure
that there are not any legitimate e-mail messages that might have
been moved there as well.
•
Safe List Only. Click this option if you only want to receive messages
from people or domain names on your Safe Senders list. E-mail
messages from people or domain names not on your Safe Senders list
will be treated as junk e-mail messages, so you should only choose this
option if you are certain that every person or domain name you want
to receive messages from is on your Safe Senders list.
