Junk Email Reporting Add-In for Microsoft Office

Microsoft has released/updated a tool that makes it easy for you to report spam and junk email from within Microsoft Outlook.

The Junk E-mail Reporting Tool submits e-mail to Microsoft when you explicitly choose to do so. If you receive a junk e-mail and want to report it to us for analysis, first select the e-mail in Outlook and then click the Report Junk e-mail button on your tool bar. You will see a pop-up window asking whether you want to report the selected e-mail to Microsoft and its affiliates. When you click “Yes” to confirm that you’d like to report the selected e-mail as junk e-mail, the junk e-mail will be sent to Microsoft for analysis to help us improve the effectiveness of our junk e-mail filtering technologies.
