Are you worried about spam? Of course you are. Do you want to contribute to a world free from this plague? Well, now you can. If you use Outlook 2003 or 2007, you can download the Junk E-mail Reporting Tool v1.1 and submit spam messages that aren’t caught by the built-in Outlook Junk E-mail filter.

The tool adds a toolbar button that quickly allows you to report a message as Junk.

The messages reported this way will be sent to abuse@frontbridge.com, where probably they will be used to more accurately define what is or what is not unsolicited commercial email.

If you have previously installed version 1.0 of this tool, you’ll have to first uninstall it by using Add/Remove programs.

Overview
The Junk E-mail Reporting Tool submits e-mail to Microsoft when you explicitly choose to do so. If you receive a junk e-mail and want to report it to us for analysis, first select the e-mail in Outlook and then click the junk e-mail button on your tool bar. You will see a pop-up window asking whether you want to report the selected e-mail to Microsoft and its affiliates. When you click “Yes” to confirm that you’d like to report the selected e-mail as junk e-mail, the junk e-mail will be deleted from your Inbox and sent to FrontBridge, a Microsoft company, for analysis to help us improve the effectiveness of our junk e-mail filtering technologies.
