Use the option you outlined for adding domains "with specific words in the
senders address" and add your @aol,
@yahoo, etc. Enable exceptions for your
friends who do not have an ISP account.

| Hi Milly,
| I'm running Outlook 2002 SP3 I don't have the "sender contains"
| option under rules, what I have is "with specific words in the
| sender's address". Does Outlook look for a string of characters or
| the entire word?
| Is there a way to have Outlook display the sender's address instead
| of the "friendly" name in the from field?

| || To block an entire domain, use Rules - Where the sender contains -
|| add your domains from there. I have been successfully AOL free for
|| many years now.
||
|| As for the headers, right click on any message in your message list,
|| select Options. The header information is at the bottom of the
|| information window.
||
|| It also helps us help you if you post your version of Outlook as
|| different versions offer varying degrees of ability to block spam.
|| Outlook 2003, in combination with SpamBayes, works for me at 99.9%
|| efficiency.

||| I'm considering switching to Outlook (Office XP) from OE for my
||| e-mail.
||| OE had an option of blocking senders based on their domain, but I
||| can't find that in Outlook. The only thing Outlook gives me is the
||| option of blocking by the display name or address.
||| For example I want to be able to block everything from @internet.ch
||| not just (e-mail address removed) (or better yet everything from
||| .ch). I can't even find a way to make outlook display the senders
||| real address instead of a name or how to find the full header,
||| properties & source of a message.
