Junk filter stopped - started again after reboot.

Not sure what happened here. My filter was working great until about 3:30pm yesterday. It totally stopped working. After a reboot it is working again. Any ideas

quick system review
Outlook 2003 / exchange serve
I get my messages using GOOD technology and a Blackberry. I always leave my work PC on with Outlook running so it filters out the 100+ SPAM messages and I don't have to deal with then on my blackberry. This works wonderfully up until 3:30 yesterday!
Again, a quick reboot fixed it, but I wonder what happened..

Spammers have learned what is necessary in their e-mails to break the rules. Once one rule is broken they all shut down. You should be able to just close out of Outlook and restart it and they should work again till the next one. I had a e-mail from a Yahoo account that was doing this quite often.
