I am looking for a decent (free) spam filter. I am finding that Outlooks method of filtering is just not working well. I get stuff that should be filtered and isn't and stuff that shouldn't be filtered that is, and end up dealing with it myself anyway.

Any suggestions?

You don't say what version of Outlook you're on.

Outlook 2003 has a vastly improved spam filter which works pretty well.

That should prevent you from having to del with it item by item.
