Creating a rule based on domain

S

Scott Christopher

Firstly, I am running Office 2007. I would like to be able to create
a rule that would take every incoming email from
"(e-mail address removed)", and move them to a seperate folder. So if
anyone at this domain sends an e-mail to me, it will go to this
folder.

I tried creating a rule just using "@domain.com" and "domain.com", of
course it gave me an error, but it left the rule. It works when i
manually run it, but not the automated part when an new e-mail comes
in.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can do this?

Thanks!

The rule should use the condition "with specific words in the sender's
address" and the specific words should be "domain" or "domain.com" (your
choice). Keep in mind that rule strings are substring matches so looking
for "domain.com" will also match on "otherdomain.com". If you want to be
precise, then you can use "@domain.com" as the specific words. Be sure to
include the "stop processing more rules" action if you intend to have rules
following this one in the list.

Thank you very much! That did the trick!
