This rule is useful if you utilize WWWebTek's Advanced Spam Filtering on
the email server. If this feature is turned "ON", we can label the
subject line of potential Spam with: [Spam]. See below for an example.
The following Outlook rule will move the potential Spam to a Spam Folder
in your Inbox. Then, your inbox will be clear of Spam and you can
periodically check your Spam folder for legitimate mail that was
inadvertently labeled as Spam. Please keep in mind that whenever Spam
Filtering in enabled, some legitimate mail will be marked as potential
Spam. Creating an Outlook rule prevents these legitimate emails from
being deleted.
