At 15:56 2002-03-06 +0300, Odhiambo G. Washington did say:
X-Spam: [SPAM] - Scams - DOLLARS


I have tried

:0
^X-Spam:*\[SPAM\]
SPAM


But I fail miserably ;-)

See your VERBOSE procmail log. What you're using as a condition line isn't prefixed with an asterisk, plus even if it were, you're matching zero or more colons, not whitespace. You're not locking the file you're writing to either. Try:

:0:
* ^X-Spam:[     ]*\[SPAM\]
SPAM

Also, does anyone know how someone using M$ Outlook or OE can utilize
such a header to filter mail.

I avoid MS LookOut and OurBreak Express, but I believe they've got at least basic filtering capability. Not to be critical of you, but with the repeated security problems found with this MS product, perhaps you might take this opportunity to find a product that is a bit more secure - and handles your client-based filtering too...
