first, does your "work" have it's own tech support or IS department?
second since you're talking about a "work" computer...i assume that you guys have payed for a subscription for this product...which comes with support from mcaffee....have you tried calling mcaffee?

We had the same problem here at work, this is what we decided to do.

Instead of having my spam catcher (SPAMcop) delete all the emails marked as SPAM, it just adds *SPAM* to the beginning of any emails marked as SPAM. Then I created a rule to send all emails marked as SPAM to a SPAM folder in each users account. That way the emails dont get deleted, but get tucked away.

When I have a user who gets a valid email in their SPAM box, they forward that email to me and I add it to the whitelist. It is a lot less work than trying to get an all-inclusive email spam filter to only delete the bad ones.
