The Sophos Outlook Add-in simplifies the reporting of spam messages to SophosLabs by integrating seamlessly with your users' Microsoft Outlook software.
Once installed, users can report spam by clicking a custom button in their Outlook window. By forwarding spam to SophosLabs, they help Sophos in its ongoing efforts to improve the accuracy of spam heuristics.
Outlook 2007: The button is in the top-left corner of the Outlook window.
Outlook 2010: The button is on the Home tab of the Outlook Ribbon.
As an administrator, you can control how the add-in is installed, and which features are available to your end users. For example, since your users' mail is not filtered by a the Sophos Email Appliance, it makes sense to disable and hide the encryption functionality that is only available to appliance users.
The add-in works on the following versions of Microsoft Office and Windows:
- Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 (32-bit)
- Windows XP x86, Windows 7 x86, or Windows 7 x64
