Already created a VBA script that will create a tollbar in outlook with two buttons, that forwards e-mail in attachment (also have a version with simple forward).

This is needed for 3 reasons...

1) 99,98 ;) users use Outlook - except me.

2) In most cases users are very lazy, or if they receive high amount of spam - they just delete 'em because don't have time to forward each message separately.

2) When signature is used in the body, all replies also has this signature. People who talks a lot with clients had to manually remove this signature. And as a result if we use signatures in headers users should bounce their messages (forward as attachments) also separately.
This is very time consuming and requires a lot of actions.

My personal opinion, the more system is simple - the more people will use it. Actually it is not big difference for my users if the percentage of catching spam 99,98% or 98% or even 96%. The most important thing in this case - usability.

If anybody will be interested - I can share script, np. after finishing test period.

I may say dspam - is a great system. Really simple in education and high % of spam catching.

Thx to developers.

p.s. Hope to see exclude list in future versions ;)
