JUNK Filter & Rules

N

Nobody

For the past 2 years (or how ever long Outlook 2003 has been out), I
havebeen using its junk email filter at work and its been working great. I
setit on 'High' and 'Permanently Delete'. Maybe once in a blue moon a single
spam would slip by.

Recently, my network admins, in their infinite wisdom, decided to install a
spam filter at the gateway and redirect spam mail to my 'Junk' folder.
Thatsall well and good, but I selected 'Permanently Delete' so I never even
SEE the junk email. Now I have to go through all the time and constantly
empty this folder when it fills up with massive amounts of spam.

Is there a way to prevent email from getting to this folder by the gateways
spam filter? Obviously the admins aren't going to change the setup, so I
have to do it on my PC. I want to set it up so I never even see the spam
like "the good old days".

The Outlook Rules seem to be a bit flimsy and pretty limited in what they
can do. I tried setting Permissions on that folder so no one has permission
to create email, but I don't think that'll really work since the act of
retrieving email is probably not going to abide by those permissions.

Is there maybe something I can write in C++ or .NET as a plug-in or
something?

Thanks.
