The SpamAssassin features include a means of setting certain headers or subjects when spam email is created, so that your email program can filter on these and remove them to a junk mailbox. Here is how to set Outlook Express filters for this purpose.
Start your Outlook Express program.
Click on Tools -> Message Rules -> Mail
Check "Where the Subject Line contains specific words" in the first section, and "move it to the specified folder" in the next section. Next click "Where the subject line contains specific words" in section three.
Enter ****SPAM**** or [POSSIBLE SPAM] (just as seen here, case sensitive) in the text field and click on "Add" then "OK".
(Note: SpamAssassin as used with DSLR.Mail right now is set up to add the [****SPAM****] header.)
Click on the word that was highlighted in box #3 above.
Left click on "Local Folders" to highlight it, then click on "New Folder"
Enter a name such as "Spam" for the name of the folder - click OK.
Click OK a second time here.
Enter "Move Spam to folder" for this rule name - click OK.
Confirm that the Spam Filter rule is in place, and then click OK.
New (marked) messages will now be saved into the folder called "Spam".
