Outlook Filters.txt

[Keke]

Hi folks,

Can anyone shed some light on the Filters.txt file in Office.
I had the initial understanding that this file was a basis for the Junk and
Adult Filtering used by MS Outlook, and thus editing this file would allow
me the ability to set new filter criteria.

It seems as though I am wrong in this assumption, as recent additions to
this file, have no action against the new criteria set. If adding a filter
on Pills in the subject and body of the mail should pick these out, they do
not.

Could someone point me in the right direction?.

Thanks Keke

The Filters.TXT file is only for human reference not for Outlook's use.
Changing it will have no effect (as you've seen). There's some info here
that might help:

Thanks Vince,
I had thought that, just hoped someone might know how to affect a change to
any criteria used.
I'll give the site a try and see if I can use anything.

Thanks again

Keke
