DSL Northwest : Support : Spam Filter Setup : Netscape

These instructions show how to create a Netscape filter that will automatically move any incoming messages that have "[SPAM]" in the subject line into a separate folder called "Spam". From there, you can review these messages separately from your "good" messages, verify that they are indeed spam, and delete them.

Instructions for Netscape 7 for Windows:
1	The first step in filtering email messages will be to create a local folder on your computer. From your menu bar, choose `File > New > Folder`.
2	Type "Spam" as the name for the folder.
3	Select "Local Folders" in the folder list.
4	Click the "OK" button.
5	Now you'll define the filter for categorizing spam. From your menu bar, choose `Tools > Message Filters`.
6	Click the "New" button.
7	In the "Filter name" field, type "Spam".
8	Select "Subject" from the first pop-up menu.
9	Select "contains" from the second pop-up menu.
10	Type "[SPAM]" into the blank field.
11	Under "Perform this action", select "Move to folder" from the pop-up menu.
12	Select "Spam on Local Folders" from the folder pop-up menu.
13	Now you can see the completed spam filter rule you've created. Click the "OK" button, and then "OK" in the filter window to finish.
