Setting up a spam rule in Outlook

If you use our spam tagging feature, available on all our hosting accounts, you can automatically file all tagged mail into a folder for review or deletion. This support article tags you through the basic steps for doing this.


1. Make a new Folder in outlook by clicking: File -> Folder -> New Folder. For this example, we will call the folder: SPAM.

2. Click: Tools -> Rules Wizard. Click NEW and select the following, and click Next:

Start from a blank rule
Check messages when they arrive

3. On the next page select the ‘with specific words in the subject’ option and enter in ***SPAM*** for the subject. Click Next

4. Lastly, choose 'move it to the specified folder' and select the SPAM folder you created earlier. Click finish.

Now all ***SPAM*** tagged messages will be moved to the SPAM folder.


All our spam and virus protection is offered fully inclusive on all our hosting accounts.
