Because I regularly receive zips with agressive netsky worms, I have tried to make a rule to not download mail with attachments from the server, in Outlook Express. However, this does not work. all the other rules work, only this one does not

Is this a known bug in OE? I have the version in the dutch language

Hi Marjolein,

Not a bug that I know of, but for that rule to work the mail server must
support it. Sounds like yours does not. I use a rule that sends all mail
with attachments to an "untrusted" folder and marks them as read. You can do
the same and simply send them to the deleted folder. I use the untrusted
folder so that I can quickly scan for anything that may be legit before
deleting them, as I sometimes ask users to send certain log files.
