Outlook rule to junk mail with mismatched headers

[Guest]

We receive lots of spam which have one (fraudulent) return address in the
From: field and another(presumably real) in the Received: from: header line.
I'd like to create a rule that would move mail to the Junk email folder if
the domain in these header lines is not the same. I don't see how to do this
with the rules wizard.
Thanks.
Jim

That's why spammers do this so you can't. Pick another option like a word in
the subject line or message or possibly the name-or lack of name-in the To
field. If you select View, Options in the bad message, you'll see where it
really came from.

Don't waste your time with rules - you will quickly run out of rules options
and the spammers will keep sending you mail. Set the Junk Mail Filter on
high and use a good third party anti-spam program such as SpamBayes
available from http://www.sourceforge.net

Mary,
I know how to see where it "really" came from, but what I want to do is
create a rule that will compare the two From lines in the header and trash
mail in which the domains of the two do not agree.
Thanks,
Jim
