quick question Outlook Express rules

[FuzionMan]

HI,

When I want to create a new Rule, I usually set it at "delete from server"
when I get junk mail.

My question is, if I want to block a complete domain , i.e. @hotmail.com
, will that work instead of having to block (e-mail address removed)?
Thanks,

Jason

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!

the answer is yes. Put in the domain name, no need for the @. Trap is if
you get any legit mail from that domain it will be lost too.
Usually a good idea to put another rule first in the list, that allows your
known friends thru.
Set up the rule, "When the from line contains" use the Advanced button, to
get the addresses from your address book - tell it to allow these, not
block and make the Action "Stop processing more rules."
(They work on each email, one at a time, so that doesn't mean it will ignore
your rules for the next emails.)
