Block and entire class A domain

[dev648237923]

Outlook 2003...
In the email header you can see the actual server (RECEIVED that sent you
the mail (this is not the same as the email address in the FROM: field):
Example in Internet headers: Received: from someserver.somedomain.com
[yyy.xxx.xxx.xxx]

I'd like to block all email from yyy no matter what the rest of the
address -- so yyy.*.*.*. -- the entire class A domain -- so that I can rule
out whole large chunks of domains that I know I have no legitimate mail
from.

Is this possible?

Thank you!

I make Rules that use the line "with specific words in the sender's address"
and set it for @microsoft.com for example. I then categorise depending on
who they're from (no I don't delete all emails from softies ;0 )

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Hi --
I think thjat would work on the Sender's address but what I want to do is
key in on the actual server that sent the mail (so I may have mail from
(e-mail address removed) but the actual server server was 200.200.200.200 (if
right-click | options and look at the internet headers you can see both
these adresses.
(So I want to block servers not from:'s)
Thank you for any ideas you have on this.

You may need to go ask in the Exchange newsgroups as that is not available
in Outlook Rules AFAIK

Hi --
I found a way that works OK for me...
The IP address of the sending server is always in brackets in the Message
Header-- like this: [84.100.100.100]. So to Junk all that domain (no
offense to that domain its just an example here) I just have a Rule to move
to Junk Mail whenever I see "[84." in the Message header (or I could do
"[84.100." for more control over it or even a single IP address. This is
good for me because what are the odds that I would have a legit mail with a
bracket,number,period combo in it like that and also I say to not do it to
people in my Contacts. I have Outlook over POP mail account or else I would
explore blocking at the Exchange server.
Thank you!
