I have been getting hundreds of emails that have zipped files...These emails
all appear to contain viruses. I want to block just these emails, not all
emails with attachements.

Is there a way to do this in Outlook?

Are they all from the same sender? Same domain? Same filename?

Thanks for replying.
Everyone is different.

Every e-mail is different? Then all you could do is block the .zip
attachments I guess. Do you have any kind of server-side attachment
blocking?

I don't know what server-side attachment blocking is. In the Outlook rules
wizard there is an option for blocking attachments, but not specific
attachments.

The Earthlink virus scan is catching a lot of these these emails, pulling
out a virus file and notifying me, but they still are pouring into my inbox.
It would be nice if I could just direct them to my junk folder.
