disable junk mail in Outlook 2007

[microsoftchallenged]

Since adding to safe list etc. is ignored by Outlook 2007 and my Spamfighter
suffices, how can I disable this Microsoft's Outlook 2007 Junk Mail nusance
entirely? (Note this is for Outlook 2007 not 2003.) Thans in adavance.

Tools | Options | Junk E-mail | No Automatic Filtering. And make sure
your Blocked Senders list is empty.

Thank you Ben. I did have "No Automatic Filtering" but had entries in
"Blocked Senders." I take it entries in the "Safe" lists don't matter. Does
Microsoft have this documented? I'll close this once actions confirm
resolution.

The blocked senders/safe senders thing is always a bit of a muddle in my
experience. TECHNICALLY I think Safe Senders is supposed to take
precedence, but I've seen items from Safe Senders shuffled off to Junk
Mail and I suspect that Blocked Senders was the culprit.

It's always best to keep the Blocked Senders list lean or even empty.
Frankly spammers spoof their FROM addresses so often that Blocked
Senders rarely matters anyhow.

Clearing Block senders did the trick Ben, valid daily messages that always
went to Junk Email folder showed uo in Inbox as it should be. Thank for your
help and all your insights on MS Junk Email. Life is better.
