Spam is suddenly getting into my Inbox

[BenW]

About ten days ago, spam which had previously been captured in the Junk
E-mail folder has started getting through to my Inbox, even though much of it
is (correcetly) labeled 'SPAM' in the subject line by my ISP's anti-spam
software.

It's the same sort of spam I got in the past, so why is Outlook all of a
sudden failing to identify it? I am not aware of making any changes to
Outlook (2003 (11.8010.6568) SP2) to account for this behaviour. Any
suggestions?

Check your rule that sends the mail to junk inbox and make sure it is still
working. Test it from the rules area.

I have the same problem, the junk email just quit working. I have checked
the setup and looked to be sure that none of these are in the allow list, and
even chedked the blocked list and see most of them in there. This started a
few days ago and seemed to be after a routine MS update. After this started
I down loaded the current junk mail update from MS downloads and that did
nothing to help.
