rules not working on spam??

[atadbitslow]

I set up a rule to move emails that contain words such as "prescription, viagra, medication, viagr@" etc in the subject or body into a junk email folder, but it is not working.....the rule does work on legitimate emails from friends etc that may contain those words, but somehow the spammers got around the Outlook rules.....anybody have this problem or know a fix for it?

Spammers are very clever. In the subject field, words are often intentionally misspelled or mistyped- v.iagra for example would foil most rules.

Within the body of the message is often another story. Often the body really doesn't contain anything exept an imbedded image. For example, right now, if you use your browser's search function you will not find the word you see below. It's not actually here - the word is actually on my web server, not at TT, therefore a search will never find that word.
