Blocking unwanted email messages
Customize Norton AntiSpam

Customize Norton AntiSpam
To avoid losing legitimate email messages, use your
email program to create a Norton AntiSpam folder. If
your email program includes the ability to direct email
messages to selected folders, set the program to sort all
messages marked with Norton AntiSpam into this folder
and periodically review the messages before deleting
them. Consult your email program's documentation for
more information about creating folders.
To create spam filters for unsupported email
programs
1 Start the email program.
2 Create a new folder in which suspect email messages
will be stored.
3 Select the rules function.
4 As the search criteria, type Norton AntiSpam.
5 Indicate the message's subject line as the part of the
email message to search for this criteria.
6 Indicate that email messages that meet the search
criteria should be moved to the suspect mail folder.
7 Click OK.
These steps describe the general process. The specific
steps will vary in each email program.
Customize your protection by identifying email
addresses and particular text strings that should and
should not be filtered. When Norton AntiSpam
encounters a message containing one of these addresses
or text strings, it immediately categorizes the message
based on your settings. This helps ensure that messages
from trusted senders do not get marked as spam.
