  4.X Ver. 6 Forte Agent    

Forte Agent web site
A basic spam filtering example.


Assumptions:
That you have a fresh install of Agent, or that you have no email filters in operation. Or that you will be capable of adapting your present setup.

Step 1:
Create a new folder for emails. In the "Subscribed Groups" or "Folders" pane right click and select "New Folder".
Step 2:
Enter the name of your Spam location. "Spam" is always good.
Step 3:
Go to the menu bar and select "Inbound Email" under the "Options" menu.
Step 4:
Select your new folder in the "Folder" tab.
Step 5:
Next go to the "Window" menu and select "Open Email Filters"
Step 6:
Right click on the main (empty) pane and select "Add Watch Filter"
Step 7:
Enter into the "Filter Expression" region the following.
To: loginname@isp.net
This is simply your email address.
Step 8:
Check your email and view the results. Properly done, all the real spam will end up in your "Spam" folder and the normal emails will end up in your "Personal" folder. This is not a 100% solution, but gets most of the spams. You will want to add filters for CC: emails and emails for filtering your mailing lists.

The results do speak for themselves.
