[Spambayes] Whitelisting with Outlook 2003

[Cedric Beust]

There seems to be a way to provide Whitelisting directly from Outlook 2003.  

I noticed that Outlook 2003 has a rule "When sender is in <addressbook>".  The idea would be to move any messages matching this criterion into a folder not monitored by SpamBayes (e.g. "Verified"), so that SpamBayes doesn't get a chance to treat it (it looks like SpamBayes kicks in *after* the message has been exposed to all the rules, at least with Outlook 2003 + Exchange).

The downside is that you end up with four folders (Inbox, Verified, Junk suspects and Junk).  Not the most convenient set up, but it can be seen as a "poor man's Whitelisting".

Also, you should be able to Whitelist entire domains (such as any email coming from someone at your company) using the rule "With specific words in the sender's address".
