i was asked by my CEO to find a way to color in red any incoming mail from
outside of the organization. i know there is a way to color specific mail
address but i want to do the opposite, color any unknown (not in my exch'
server) mail addresses.

use contains @ in the address (general tab of auto formatting) as internal
mail won't have an @ sign in it.

Hey Diane,
first of all thanks for helping.
i didn't understand, should i write a rule using '@'? something like: 'any
mail from *@*.com color red'?
to make myself clearer, if the mail is coming from any email outside of my
mail server i want it to be colored in red.

Just @ will work as the condition. See
http://xsolive.com/Outlook%20Screen%...rm.aspx?ID=117

That is the only condition in my autoformatting rule. Mail within my
exchange server is black - everything with an @ in the from address is lime.
