Filtering for spam can be a challenge since spam messages usually come from many different senders, including senders who use fake email addresses or send from multiple addresses. This means that you must frequently update your rules and filters.

  • Filter for URLs that appear in spam.

  • Use the email address from the full header view to create a filter or rule.

Procedures for creating filters and rules are available for the following email applications:
