Questions about Creating Rules

[Spudy]

Hello:

I'm new to using Outlook and am a little lost on how to create rules
effectively. I belong to a e-mail discussion list and I would like to
filter out e-mail that comes from a certain group of people. How can I
create just one rule to filter out e-mail addresses of those people?
Right now I have one to delete permanently from each one of these
people. And created another one to delete any e-mails that are sent to
them. So basically, I have to create 2 rules for each person - one to
detect the TO: field and another one to detect the FROM: field. Can I
create just one rule to filter out all those names?

I used to use Eudora and it lets me create a rule that goes FROM:
(e-mail address removed), or (e-mail address removed), or (e-mail address removed). I cant' seem
to find that in Outlook. I see that I have (e-mail address removed), AND
(e-mail address removed), AND (e-mail address removed) though. Maybe I wasn't looking in
the right place? Please advise.

Thanks in advance for your help!

G'Day Spudy,

Create a New Rule using the option 'Start from a blank rule'
Next
Check 'from people or distribution list'
In the body of the rule click the underlined 'from people or distribution list'
You will see your Contact list
EITHER
hold down CTRL key, and click all the names you need for the rule
Click the 'From:' button to see the list
OR
double-click each name in turn
Click OK
Next

: etc
