Todd mentioned a very good anti-spam program, Spam Assassin. All you see in your inbox are messages with headers you have already approved. All other messages go into a spam folder. It works well with Outlook. I don't use it myself, but I have several friends who do.

An e-mail filter is different from one that filters out spam. One could encorporate an e-mail filter into the bn that would allow one to filter messages that might otherwise go into the inbox. They could be filtered into any other box. So, if you wanted to filter any message to you directly, into a personal mail box, that could be done. I do it every day with eudora and outlook has the same capabilities. If you wanted to filter all messages from an undesireable individual on the list into the trash, no problem. This is different than filtering any spam messages into a spam folder. I would also like to see a spam filter for the bn as I do get many of these. I use a program for eudora called spam nix. I hear there is also a good spam filter that will work with outlook. So, I would like to see two different types of filters; one to direct mail into appropriate boxes and another to filter spam into a spam mailbox.
