I need help creating with rules. With that no Sober worm outbreak I'm
receiving over 500 pieces of mail everyday. I'd like to just easily filter
them out using a rule. I have successfully done it with some of the e-mails
but I'm having a hard time. There are mail specifically from the addresses
(e-mail address removed) and (e-mail address removed). I've attempted to use the "from someone"
rule but it doesn't take and when I run the rule on my inbox it doesn't
filter the mail. The only one that works is with the words in the subject
however some of the words that come with these mails are sometimes sent by
normal people who I receive everday mail from.

Is there anyway to filter from sender? I've even attempted to filter by
words in the sender's name and that doesn't work either. Is the actual name
something else? Where can I find it in the headers etc?
 
You can look for text in the header, that text being '(e-mail address removed)' or
whatever. That way it'll check the whole header
 
At the bottom of every e-mail there is a text of something that says
"Sober.worm" but when I put that into the rule it does not work. Any reason
why this is happening?
 
I also noticed that my rule worked for a while but now when an incoming mail
with the same words that the rule uses to filter the e-mail, it still ends
up coming through and not filtered. Any idea why this is happening?
 
I fixed it. I guess you can't have too many exceptions in one rule
otherwise it doesn't work.
