Rod, I don't know the specifics of how changes to the junk folder rules get updated on our computers but I think it is part of the security updates to Microsoft office. Since I have not used Outlook very long, others may have more specifics.
If you are not using POP3 and SMTP, then junk folder rules on your server are also affecting how mail gets into the junk folders on your computer since the folders are synchronized. You won't even know when those rules change. >From my work on other lists, I am aware that there are a lot of headers that >can help prevent a message from getting flagged as spam. Particularly in the MailMan software, there are options that can help lists such as this one avoid going into spam, but it seems more of an art than a science as to what works. It is possible that changes in the headers associated with this list could trigger your junk filter. There is even a tendency now for certain IP addresses of specific email systems to cause mail to be moved to the junk folder. I recently found that one of the IP Addresses of my email provider, VISI.COM, was flagged as a source of spam by Earthlink and all related addresses such as MindSpring. This block had nothing to do with me or even VISI.COM as a whole, but just one of the addresses that passed mail from me. Anyway, it is all a bit frustrating at times.
