Adding link to email to forward message

B

Brian E

We currently have SPAM filters. As expected, there are false
negatives and false positives.

It is getting more important for us that users report SPAM messages
they receive (i.e. false negatives). This provides the following:
1. Empower users to do something about SPAM.
2. Allow us to measure the number of false-positives (i.e. how good
is our SPAM filter?).
3. Write better filters to detect more SPAM.
4. Automate the reporting process as much as possible.

We can continously tell users to forward spam to an email address.
However, they'll forget unless we tell them every 5 minutes.

I began thinking about using the filtering rules to add a footer or
header to all inbound email. Is it possible to create a vbscript with
a button that when clicked will forward the message to another email
address without any other interaction? "Click here to report this
message as SPAM" sort of thing.

Any other ideas for this? Possibly do this as an Outlook button (as
opposed to within the message)?

I would appreciate any ideas and samples others may have.
