The Outlook product is a COM addin and the SPAM is moved to a folder. The
are numerous option for that as there are with the entire product.

The Outlook Express uses the rules to do it. You can add your own rules yet
though. The SPAM is placed in the deleted folder. If you don't have your
deleted folder automatically emptied you can still browse through it for
false negatives.

I set it up so that it never put any email from someone in my address book
into the SPAM folder. I also have it set up so that the domains of things I
subscribe to (like @databaseadvisors.com) cannot be filtered. (Sometimes the
subject matter could be mis-intepreted). My false negatives are VERY low.

They have a free trial download, which is what I did. It works fine for me
but I'm not claiming its the best or anything. Some mags have rated it very
high. It is made by Sunbelt software which is a good company that develops
or finds niche software to sell. I haven't tried a whole slew of them of
them or anything (who has the time?)
