Using Outlook express or similar program, here is a great method to dispose of Spam.

Firstly go to your Cpanel http://www.yourwebsite.com/cpanel , enter the MAIL or MAIL MANAGER section

click Spam Assassin

click Enable Spam Assassin

then on your Own computer in your mail program such as Outlook express

click Local Folders, then Right Click your Mouse

click New Folder

Create a new folder and call it something like SPAM click OK

Then Click Tools/Message Rules/Mail

Then Click New Rules/New

Check Message Body Contains Specific Words, Enter the words Spam Detection

Check Move If to A Specific Folder Enter Folder Name SPAM

ok.

how this works is that anything Spam Assassin thinks is SPAM will be sent to you with the words "Spam Detection" in the Message body along with its usual message.

Your email program such as Outlook will detect those words and automatically move those emails to your SPAM folder, periodically you can check that folder to ensure Spam Assassin is not marking any legitimate emails as spam, over a period of time once your comfortable with the process you can set that folder to be emptied automatically on exit from your email program.
