Rules in Outlook 2003

[Guest]

Using Outlook 2003, I'd like to create a rule that sends all messages from a
certain domain to a specified folder.

What I have is "Apply this rule after the message arrives from *@domain.com
move it to the XXX folder." This rule is not working. Can I not use wild
cards (*) in Outlook rules? How can I get all messages from all senders from
a certain domain to go to a specific folder without entering each separate
email address in the rule?

Note: the domain that these messages will come from IS NOT the domain that I
am in (eg: they are people from a different company).

Thanks.

I've found my answer... for those that may also like this information... the
trick is to omit the @ from the address... so if I want to have all mail from
all senders at emailme.com moved to my EmailMe folder, then my rule would
look like this:

"Apply this rule after the message arrives from emailme.com
move it to the EmailMe folder." (NO wild cards, NO @ symbol)

Once the rule is created, you'll just need to click cancel to the Check
Names dialog box.

Keep in mind that this will also detect any domain ending in "emailme.com"
as well, like "willyouemailme.com". If there's little likelihood that the
string you chose will be a substring of another domain, you should be safe.
Otherwise, include the "@"; i.e., "@emailme.com"
