I am receiving emails where the display name contains the word VIAGRA. The
properties of the email are such that it appears that I am sending the emails
to myself.

Any ideas on how to setup a rule that will block these emails. I have tried
a number of different rules none of which search the display name an the
header only shows that I am sending the messgae to myself.

I am using Outlook 2007 and Vista Ultimate.

Thanks
Sam

The best fix is to set outlook's junk mail setting to high (Tools, Options,
Junk mail options). Otherwise, use a rule that looks for words in the
header.
