How can I set up a rule that sends messages with a blank From: address to
the spam folder or just deletes them altogether? I'm being inundated with
these messages.

I have Outlook 2002 with Windows XP Pro.

Get Spam Bayes. it is free and works with Outlook rules but it will
correctly handle blank senders.

Thanks Milly,

That looked good, but when I downloaded and installed it Outlook wouldn't
work at all. It loaded OK but then within a minute I just got a blank screen
with Outlook - Inbox in the title bar at the top.

I've had to remove it.

Don't remove it. Close Outlook, find and rename outcmd.dat to .old. Reopen
Outlook and configure SpamBayes.

Thanks Milly,

It seems to have installed OK now - it sat there for ages thinking about
things.

I'll see how it goes.
