junk mail and junk addresses

G

Gary Stein

I have set my junk mail protection to "high". But, when its gets email from
my Yahoo BizMail account, it brings over all the mail.
Every piece that Yahoo has labeed junk. Everything.
What do I have to do to stop this.

My gMail account however only gets "good" email.

Also, how can I stop the junk mail addresses from being saved ?

THANKs,
Gary

You may need to create a rule. Does Yahoo add a note to the subject for
messages that are junk? If not, they probably add a special header/value;
look in View > Source. For example, one account I have adds this to
suspected junk mail:

X-Spam-Score: 10

When you've found the header/value that correspond to junk mail, go to Tools
Rules, and click "New". Create a new rule that looks like this:
Click to expand...

* Execute actions if any criteria are met
IF Specific Header X-Spam-Score Contains 10
THEN Set category Junk
THEN Move Message Junk Mail
ˆ Enabled

(replace "X-Spam-Score" and "10" with the appropriate header/value)

The senders of messages marked as junk shouldn't be added to the "Most
Recently Used" list.

Mickey,
Thanks for the assistance.
I called Yahoo Bizmail, and they "do not use html coding, nor was she aware
of a "code" for junk mail.

The senders thing, is that mail Entourage has label junk,
or I labeled junk ?

If you want, you can e-mail me one of these junk messages that Yahoo! marked
as junk to my e-mail address (using Message > Forward as Attachment), and I
can see if there is a way Entourage can filter them.

Messages that have been labeled Junk by Entourage, either manually or
automatically by the Junk Mail Filter and/or rules.
