Configuring Entourage for Macintosh to Filter UCE
The document describes how to configure MS Entourage to recogonize mail flaged as "bulk mail" or "UCE" by our servers.

Mail Processing
All mail sent through Digital Indigo's servers is processed through special filters. These filters use complex analysis to attempt the detection of junk e-mail, commonly called UCE or spam.

Mail that is detected as UCE is stamped with a flag that is not visable to the user, but can be detected by your mail program. Below are the steps necessary for Entouage to read this flag and redirect suspected UCE.

IMPORTANT!
UCE filters are not perfect. Sometimes they will allow UCE to pass through to your normal mailbox. Other times they may move legitimate e-mails to the "Bulk Mail" folder! Be sure to check your "Bulk Mail" directory from time to time for legitimate e-mail.

Entourage For Macintosh:
From the menu bar select Tools
From Tools select Rules
Under Rules make sure the Mail (POP) tab is selected
Now click the button labeled New
In the Rule Name field enter Digital Indigo UCE Filter
Under the If area change the first drop box to Specific Header
In the first text field enter X-Spam-Flag
Change the second drop box to Is
In the second text field enter True
(Your line should read Specific Header X-Spam-Flag Is True)
Under the Then area change the first drop box to Move Message
Change the second drop box to Choose Folder...
In the new dialog box click New Folder
Enter the new folder name, Bulk Mail
Click the Choose button to select the new folder
Click Okay to complete the filter.

Don't forget to open your Bulk Mail folder from time to to. Delete unnecessary messages, and make sure no non-UCE messages were accidentially flagged as Bulk Mail!
