Incorrectly marked as [Spam]

Hi
I receive e-mails (from someone I have sent e-mails to before), and they are marked as [Spam] and put into the junk folder, despite having nothing that strikes me as looking like Spam in the message.
I'm using Windows XP and Outlook 2003 with ESET Smart Security.
Under the ESET setup option for anti-spam protection I have ticks in:
- Add addresses from address book (Recipient is not listed)
- Add recipient addresses from outgoing messages
- Add addresses from messages reclassified as not spam
My ISP is not making the messages as [SPAM]. Its definitly being done by ESET

How can I find out why this is happening and how can I stop it happening in future?

Outlook also has a spam filter. To see whether it is Outlook or Eset that is marking the message as spam, enter Advanced setup > Web and email > Antispam protection and change the text added to the email subjet to something like [SPAM - Eset].

You then will know whether it's Outlook or Eset that needs to be trained by making the message as not spam.

 

Many thanks Terradon

Yes doing that proves that ESET is marking the item as Spam.
Now, how can I find out why this is happening and how can I stop it happening in future?

Hello Mandy123,

What you have to do is going to the junk folder, right click on the e-mail, now you will see Eset Smart Security, select not spam and add to white list. Normally, after you have done that the mails will not being classified as spam.

Regards,
Niels

Dear Neils
Many thanks for that - I was looking inside the ESET settings and it did not cross my mind to rightclick within Outlook!
