Rules using "NOT"

[Alex]

I would like to apply an Outlook rule to all mails from outside my
organisation. The only way I can see to do this is to set up a rule
condition that applies to all mails where the sender's address does NOT
contain the string "mydomain". Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find a way to
do this, although the reverse is simple. Is there a way to do this, or is
there another potential solution?

The environment is Outlook 2007 / Exchange 2007 - Exchange Account.

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Alex.

are you using exchange server? if so, make the rule apply to all messages
with @ in the address. Otherwise, use exceptions- apply to all mail except
if from domain.com.

Use the 'except' clause to define a negative rule. Think in reverse. If
your rule is something like "if NOT <this> then do <that>" then change it to
"do <that> EXCEPT if <this>".
