Junk Mail Training

How can you train the Ent 2004 Junk Mail Filer to recognize junk mail.
I have mine set to HIGH but most junk mail still winds up in my Inbox. I
move them to the Junk E-mail then to the Deleted Items. I tried
clearing the cache but that did not really help.

Any suggestions on training the JMF will be appreciated.

The Entourage 2004 Junk Mail Filter does not learn from your actions, other
than removing senders of junk mail from your Recently Used Addresses list.
Microsoft has the ability to update the JMF on their end and everyone will
benefit.

Consider using Rules or setting your JMF to Exclusive in order to improve
your results.

There is no "training" the junk mail filter. It is set up a pre-set
algorithm. For bettert junk mail protection, I suggest using a third party
application for this. They are configurable. If you use your own mail
server, I suggest checkingout SpamAssassin.

For information on SpamAssasin you can check out either:
1. Their web site <http://spamassassin.apache.org/index.html>
