Scan Emails
« on: October 28, 2006, 03:33:36 PM »
Hello,

I would like to know how to create a program that scans my emails for specific words before they reach my inbox, kind of antispam

    Your email program will probably do it for you, even my old Outlook Express can do it.
    I use it to filter out all the spam.... Message Rules.

    Yes I agree but this program would be used on a bunch of computers and so I don't want to have to create the rules on every computer.

    Why reinvent the wheel?  There are lots of programs that already do this.

    Why not google for "Windows email filter"?  There are, as I said, a lot of programs out there that can do this kind of thing.
