Outlook ignores rules

Outlook 2000 is ignoring some of my rules. Please note, many of my
rules do in fact work. There are however a handful that simply will
not do what I tell them to do.

For example, I have a rule setup to look in the message header for "X-
Sender: (e-mail address removed)" (no quotes) - I'm simply cutting &
pasting from a real received email whose spam I'm trying to delete.

It processes my inbox, but never finds a match even though it is
without question in there. I've also tried looking for the From: line
as a match on the sender. No go.

Any solutions?

Thank you in advance

Not sure if OL2000's Rules Wizard has it but are you using the 'without
specified text in the header' option in the rule?

Click to expand...

Please post the exact text of your rule.

Just enter the words that Outlook shows in the Rules Wizard. Sadly you can't
copy/paste

It says...

Apply this rule after the message arrives with X-Sender: "KP Singh"
<[email protected]> in the message header
permanently delete it and stop processing more rules

Note that this rule is now the first rule at the top.

I also used the "with specific words in the sender's address" option
and changed X-Sender: to From:. Same result - nothing.

Note that the identical format DOES work on other rules.

There are several "authors" I wish to block and none of them will
work. As mentioned, I've tried blocking both on the header, and on
the sender's address.


Here's a copy of the header of one of them:

Have you tried just looking for the address in the header without the other
text?
