Microsoft has quietly provided its first anti-spam filter update for Outlook 2003, the company's newest e-mail client. Now available from the Office Update Web site, or via download from this page of the general Microsoft site, the update is the first of a regular refresh of the anti-spam capabilities of Outlook. According to Microsoft, updates will be posted every few months.
Outlook 2003 relies on Microsoft's SmartScreen technology to sniff out spam and deflect it to a special folder within the client. Updates to the filter will, said Microsoft, capture more spam and give fewer false positives.
