1. From the Tools Menu, select Message Filters.



2. Click on the New button.



3. Fill in a name for the filter such as Spam Filter or whatever you wish to call the new filter. Next, make sure Match any of the following is selected. Use the drop down boxes below that to create a filter that says Subject contains SPAM. You will have to type in the word SPAM in uppercase letters in the box on the right. Note that we use this keyword because Active Web Hosting's spam filtering will autotmatically put the word "SPAM" in the subject line of any mail regarded as spam. You can use other keywords as well. For more information on keywords to use in your filters, please see Spam Keywords To Add To Your Filter Lists. Finally, click on the New Folder button.



4. Type in the word Junk or whatever you want to call your Junk E-Mail folder. Click on the drop down box and select the account folder you wish to put it in, move to the arrow on the right, and then choose this for the parent. Click the OK button.

• Enable Junk Mail Controls should be checked.

• The following should be selected and/or checked:

• Do not mark messages as junk mail if the sender is in my address book: Personal Address Book.

• Move incoming messages determined to be junk mail to: "Junk" folder on: (your current E-Mail account you are working with. This should match the same account in the drop down box at the top of this settings window).

• When I manually mark messags as Junk: Move them to the "Junk" folder.

Click the OK button when done.
