Implementation of Spam Assassin 
We have installed a software product which helps users weed out spam messages in their e-mail.  The product uses rules to predict which messages are most likely spam.  When it finds such a message, the software place the word [SPAM] in front of the subject of the message.    Users can set up rules to move all messages with [spam] in the subject to a separate folder or to delete them.  Look under the topic 'Using Outlook with Spam Assassin' on the software documentation page.

Occasionally, a valid e-mail message will be marked as [spam].  If you send these [spam] messages to a special mail folder, check that folder periodically to be sure you don't miss important messages.
