mass import of ascii text list of phrases into outlook filters

[browni]

Hello,

I have a list of hundreds of phrases which appear frequently in spam that I
receive. I would like to be able to add all of the phrases in this list to
my filter rules in Outlook 2003, but I don't want to have to enter each one
manually. I tried exporting my existing rules to a file, but the resulting
..rwz file is not human-editable, so it's not helpful. I don't have direct
access to the exchange server, so all of my rules are client-side.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks for the help.

The Outlook 2003 Junk E-mail filter is immutable by anyone by Microsoft.

Not sure what you mean by immutable. I'm not wanting to change the junk
e-mail filter. I'm simply wanting to add additional rules. I could do it
manually, but it would take me hours to type them all in. All I'm looking
for is a faster way. Like, maybe a way to import an ascii text list of
phrases, or something. Are you saying the only way is to enter each phrase
manually?

Manually is it. Cut/paste each phrase from your text file to the rules
wizard. However, you're certainly wasting your time and chanses are you'll
exceed the string size allowed by the rules wizard. You're better off
getting one of the fine, free antispam applications that are available on
the Internet/ http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/ and http://www.spampal.org/
are two.
