How do we create a filter for these new junk addresses?

[Guest]

In the past I have been able to create different filters in Outlook 2003 for
my incoming mail. That was not a problem, but they have now gone one step
further and it seems that they are using a wild card that makes it
imposssible for me to setup any type of filter. Am I right or wrong on this?
I have included a couple of samples and take notice of the brackets that
prevent me from using a wildcard to use a filter or allow me to add to my
list of names in the filter. It's challenging as it does not show up on
Microsoft's list as yet.

I'd look into a more sophisticated antispam solution. Check out SpamBayes -
it's free.

Thank you both for your input. I will look into your suggestion with this
program. It seems that Microsoft will have to include this for future
updates. Appreciate your time.

Not necessarily. I'd probably prefer a third party solution even then.

Appreciate your time.
