Barracuda Networks provides a plugin for Outlook 97, Outlook 2000, Outlook XP and Outlook 2007 which allows users of Outlook to fine-tune spam and not-spam preferences on the Barracuda on a message-by-message basis. The plugin installs two additional buttons on a new toolbar in Outlook. One button will mark the currently selected message in Outlook as "not spam". The other button will mark the currently selected message in Outlook as "spam".
