Outlook rule based on value NOT in name?

[Kent P. Iler]

Hi,

I have a lot of SPAM coming in with the sender's address set to my e-mail
address. However, the name is different. I would like to setup a rule like
this:

If the sender's e-mail address = XXXXXXX, but the sender's name <> YYYYYYYY
then move to the junk folder.

Can this be done? All I see are rules to look for a string - not look for
the absence of a string.

I use e-mail to transfer notes to myself and also transfer information
between mail accounts and computers, so I do send myself e-mail fairly
frequently.

I'm using Outlook 2003.

Thank you for your time!

Unfortunately not. You could enter a string in the subject "[from me]" and
set up a rule to move mail to me, from me to the junk folder except if
subject contains [from me].

Or... use a different address for the sending address and set it up as a
second account, using the SMTP server information from the main account. The
address doesn't have to be valid, unless you need to reply to yourself.
