advanced rules

[Guest]

I want to create a rule so that if I receive an email where part, or all, of
the display name appears in the subject line the email is deleted. I do not
use Exchange, just stand alone Outlook 2003. Example, I receive an email
that is displayed as from "Franklin Peck" (display name) and in the subject
line it says "fwd: Peck". These are spam emails. In this case the last name
matches to the subject.

Don't bother - just use a good third party spam blocker (I use SpamBayes) and these items are automatically marked as junk. If you try to conform rules to handle it, you will run out of rules before they run out of spam.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All
unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without
