You can use Microsoft Outlook to view the anti-spam stamps that Microsoft Exchange applied to an email message. Anti-spam stamps help you diagnose spam-related problems by applying diagnostic metadata, or stamps, such as sender-specific information, puzzle validation results, and content filtering results to messages as the messages pass through the anti-spam agents that filter inbound messages from the Internet.
