| | Is the junk filter updated monthly for WLM as it is for Outlook? Was reading the following because I was curious if the junk filter for Windows Live Mail (WLM) ever gets updated. Microsoft's Smartscreen (junk filtering) http://www.microsoft.com/protect/you...mail/spam.mspx Does the above mean that WLM also gets updated every month using the Windows Update that updates the junk filter in Outlook 2003/2007? |

| | Re: Is the junk filter updated monthly for WLM as it is for Outlook? Yes, that's my understanding. A junk filter that doesn't get updated would be pretty much worthless. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "VanguardLH" <V@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:fv90bu$klo$1@xxxxxx Quote: > Was reading the following because I was curious if the junk filter for > Windows Live Mail (WLM) ever gets updated. > > Microsoft's Smartscreen (junk filtering) > http://www.microsoft.com/protect/you...mail/spam.mspx > > Does the above mean that WLM also gets updated every month using the > Windows Update that updates the junk filter in Outlook 2003/2007? |

| | Re: Is the junk filter updated monthly for WLM as it is for Outlook? Check the date on your filter - wlmfilter.dat and wlmfilter.dll. They may well be the same as the OL ones, but I haven't dared to try renaming the OL equivalents to see if they work. I suggested it a long time ago, but nobody bit. -- Noel "Gary VanderMolen" <gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:u9fpnioqIHA.2292@xxxxxx Quote: > Yes, that's my understanding. > A junk filter that doesn't get updated would be pretty much > worthless. > > -- > Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) > > > "VanguardLH" <V@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:fv90bu$klo$1@xxxxxx Quote: >> Was reading the following because I was curious if the junk >> filter for >> Windows Live Mail (WLM) ever gets updated. >> >> Microsoft's Smartscreen (junk filtering) >> http://www.microsoft.com/protect/you...mail/spam.mspx >> >> Does the above mean that WLM also gets updated every month using >> the >> Windows Update that updates the junk filter in Outlook 2003/2007? > |

| | Re: Is the junk filter updated monthly for WLM as it is for Outlook? Uh-oh, on my system those two WLM files are dated October 5, 2007. Any way to force an update? All my other updates get done automatically through Windows Update. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "Ildhund" <jnllb@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:euTaqQqqIHA.2068@xxxxxx Quote: > Check the date on your filter - wlmfilter.dat and wlmfilter.dll.
