To try and sort out the deluge of spam that comes in to my work email?
Large employer, job involving some customer facing and a lot of communication with people at my level in other organisations.
So I can't either hide my email address from the public domain nor can I avoid checking it.
Every day at least 10 spam emails in my inbox waiting in the morning plus another 10-20 come in during the day. This is not including the 30+ that the system does detect.
We're not just talking companies trying to sell me something vaguely work related (and I mean very vaguely). We're talking 5 or 6 emails one after the other with really obvious spam keywords in.
I may be quite dense and untechnical though. Is there more that my employer's IT department can do? At least half my emails are spam (though as I say they do manage to filter some of them).
They say they can't do more - that I should just "label them as spam" (and then Outlook ignores my labelling and lets all the same emails back into my inbox) and "filter the detected ones" (which I do - straight to trash).

To think that actually, yes, it is my employer's job...
