I want to stop junk mail coming in that is coming in from a "From" who
constantly chnanges domain and or e-mail addy.

For example, I get a ton of e-mail where the "From" is
'(e-mail address removed)' or 'Pet Medications'. The sender's e-mail is
always different, so creating a Rule is pointless. The "From" is just an
alias or the name of the Sender's e-mail account as defined by them. We all
do the same, it's just that it appears as though there is no way to block a
particular sender.

Let's say there's a 'Joe Jones' who uses Outlook to send e-mails. He has 3
or 4 e-mail accounts with HotMail, Yahoo, etc., but uses 'Joe Jones' as the
name entered in "Your Name". How do you block the "Your Name"?
 
In general the Junk E-mail will pick it up so you don't have to manually
fight your Junk e-mail.
Anyway; you can create a rule with the condition "with specific words in the
sender's address"

Sorry, that doesn't work... Here is an example...
Junk mail>>>
From: (e-mail address removed) [[email protected]]

The rule I created>>>
Apply this rule after the message riives with (e-mail address removed)
in the senders address
and on this machine only
move it to the Deleted Items folder

Please note the actual e-mail addy ([email protected] in this case)
changes constantly. The "(e-mail address removed)" remains constant.

Then use a rule that looks for, say, "christianloanmart" or "lowreates" in
the headers.
 
That appears to work. Thanks!
