Junk E-Mail filter Catching My Mail to Me

A

aRKay

Hopefully, there is an easy fix to my problem. When I send a bcc of a
message (using Entourage 2004) the copy is received in the Junk E-Mail
folder and I have to manually move to the InBox. The address used is a
good address in my address book with a normal host.

How can I train Entourage 2004 to put mail from 'me' to 'me' in the
InBox rather than the Junk E-mail folder? I must be doing something
wrong.

This is by design, since many spammers fake your own address when sending
you spam. However there must be something in the subject or content of your
messages that looks spam-like the Junk Mail Filter even on "High" will not
find _all_ your messages to be junk (although it will on Exclusive: maybe
you should change it to High if you're on Exclusive).

If you're sending yourself lots of messages, what you _really_ need is an
IMAP account so you don't have to do that: you'll always find your own
messages in the IMAP Sent Items folder, even on your other computers.

In the meantime, you can do what Kim says and set yourself up as a mailing
list. But not having the JMF on Exclusive should also take care of most of
this.

You can also create a second contact entry for your email address in the
address book - that will then prevent messages from you being marked as junk
- it's only the 'me' address that is exempt from address book junk
filtering.
