Automatically moving emails marked as junk to the junk folder

[quote user="idw"]

[quote user="phoenixart"]Another thing I'd like to

see is having emails marked as junk automatically moved to the junk

folder - dunno if it's already possible though.[/quote]

How about

creating a filter rule for doing so? Others may be able to provide the

details, I don't use Pegasus Mail's built-in capabilities for this -

and you should specify what you're referring to: Content control or

Spamhalter? [/quote]

Phoenixart,

Would you like to elaborate a bit? Which tools are

you using - SpamHalter, Content Control and/or filtering rules? Do you

have messages recognised as spam by SpamHalter that still remain in

your inbox? etc...

The reason I ask is that the filtering rule approach probably won't work as you would expect. Rules can move messages to your spam folder, but SpamHalter will NOT learn that they are spam and so will not get any better in catching similar spam in the future. This behaviour is the same, regardless if you use normal filtering rules or Content Control spam filtering rules.

See also my suggestion in this thread: http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/6874.aspx and this somewhat confused thread http://community.pmail.com/forums/thread/6667.aspx about the problem with fighting spam using filtering rules, where my OP describes a work-around using Quick Actions. (I was told to use the work-around I wanted to get rid of... Sometimes it doesn't help to describe what you want [:(] )

 

Cheers,

Erik
