Send Spam Or Bulk Email To Special Folders In Outlook - Watchguard Firebox X15 User Manual

Create rules for your email reader
To use the Tag action in spamBlocker, it is best to configure your email reader to sort messages. Most email
readers, such as Outlook, Thunderbird, and Mac Mail, allow you to set rules that automatically send email
messages with tags to a subfolder. Some email readers also let you create a rule to automatically delete the
message.
Because you can use a different tag for each spamBlocker category, you can set a different rule for each
category. For example, you can set one rule to move any email message with the ***BULK*** tag in the subject
line to a Bulk subfolder in your inbox. You can set another rule that deletes any email message with the
***SPAM*** tag in the subject line.
For instructions on how to configure the Microsoft Outlook email client, see
folders in Outlook. For information about how to use this procedure on other types of email clients, look at the
user documentation for those products.
If you use spamBlocker with the SMTP proxy, you can have spam email sent to the Quarantine
Server. For more information on the Quarantine Server, see

have email with a spam or bulk tag delivered directly to special folders in Outlook. When you create these
folders, you keep possible spam email out of your usual Outlook folders, but you can get access to the email
if it becomes necessary.
Before you start, make sure that you configure spamBlocker to add a tag for spam and bulk email. You can use
the default tags, or create custom tags. The steps below describe how to create folders with the default tags.

check box. Then, in the bottom pane, click specified to select the destination folder.

11. Click Next two times.
12. To complete the rule setup, type a name for your spam rule and click Finish.
