• When you try to add a filter you get the following message:
• You could also set up a recipient filter for a user that does not exist but is
constantly receiving spam mail. For example, you could set up a recipient
filter for a non-existing account called sales@microsoft.com. This will prevent
your catch-all account (e.g. webmaster@microsoft.com) from receiving junk
mail to a non existing account. You can also use this to block emails being
delivered to other internal aliases, such as managers@microsoft.com.
