It looks like they finally released this – and it’s about time.
This technology is a lot more powerful than you’d think. This is an add-on to Outlook that not only allows you eliminate future junk mail of the same likeness (content, originator, topic, etc.) from hitting your inbox by helping to improve the filtration logic in the quarterly Outlook Junk Mail filter update that Microsoft produces, it allows you to actually put a stop to that general piece of SPAM from reaching it’s intended targets in the future.
CUT OFF THE SPAMMER’S LIFELINE
In other words, if you’ve been looking to find a way to personally fight spammers and "strike back" at those clogging your Inbox, this is the best & easiest way to keep them from making money: Stop their advertisements from getting to anyone else, limiting their reach and eliminating their customer base.
How does it work? Besides helping to improve the logic behind the filtration technology in the Outlook Junk Mail filter in the future, the report you transmit using this tool also gets sent to Microsoft’s Hotmail Spam Filter, Microsoft’s Hosted Exchange Filtering Services, and Microsoft’s Anti-Spam Partners worldwide.
Simply by reporting the email, you can help stop & prevent the spam’s transmission to the world’s largest email service, the world’s most heavily used corporate email system, and millions of other people by warning other anti-spam filtration systems.
HOW TO USE IT
- Select email to report
- Click "Junk Mail" button on Outlook toolbar. This will display a pop-up window asking whether or not you wish to report the email to Microsoft AND OTHER SPAM FILTERS.
- Click "Yes". This will delete the email and send it to Microsoft’s Host Exchange Filter services for analysis and distribution.
You now have the power to "stick it to spammers". Use it!
