| | Re: Junk Filter doesn't filter The junk filter does work, but obviously not on the precise message you're getting. It doesn't learn like some do. We're told that monthly updates will be forthcoming via Windows Update in the future. When you say 'same junk mail over and over', how is it 'same'? Same sender, same subject, same content? What kind of account - POP3, IMAP, HTTP? If it's POP3, you can set up a rule to filter it out. If it's an HTTP account, you can use the filters at Hotmail (on sender and subject) to deal with it. -- Noel "Michael Dobony" <survey@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1vgvuydivpnk3$.1qgxx3myqps1j.dlg@xxxxxx Quote: > I keep getting same junk mail over and over even after marking the > mail as > junk.

| | Re: Junk Filter doesn't filter As noted, there can be many reasons. Often the SPAMers like to use the same message, but send it from a slightly different address or make some other small, easily overlooked changes to beat out filters.
