#Go to the “Mail” menu and click on “Preferences” [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/macmail_spam_1.jpg] #On the window that comes up, click on the “Rules” icon (the one on the far right) & click on “Add Rule” *NOTE: If you have an old spam filter set up that filters on “X-Spam-Status” please delete it here. [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/macmail_spam_2.jpg] #Give the rule a description that will be meaningful to you (such as Spam) and click on the drop-down menu that currently says “From” [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/macmail_spam_3.jpg] #You will see a list of things to choose from, but the header we need is not on the list, so go to the bottom and click “Edit Header List…” [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/macmail_spam_4.jpg] #In the window that comes up, type the following in the box next to “Header:” {{X-Spam-Flag}} Click “Add Header” which will put it in the list with the others, and click “OK” [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/macmail_spam_5.jpg] #Now make sure the first drop-down menu has changed to display X-Spam-Flag… if it hasn’t, choose it from the menu. In the 3rd box, type “YES” #Under “Perform the following actions” make sure it has “Move Message” and select the folder where you would like the spam to go. [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/macmail_spam_6.jpg] #Click OK, and you’ll be brought back to this screen. Your new spam filtering rule should show up in the list. Close the window and you’re done! [http://www.eecs.umich.edu/dco/files/images/macmail_spam_7.jpg]
