Outlook includes its own filter software. Dunno how effective it is and I dislike straight keyword filters - they tend to hit legit mail far to often for my liking. Id bet theres a more sophisticated filter available if you dig a bit though. Search on M$ site as well.

If your running some other email client then youll have to hunt through its docs for yourself.

And if your using some online client (similar to hotmail) then your only way forwards is to bug them for spam filters, although they probably have one hidden somewhere in the options.
