My office is flooded with spam lately from one source. All the senders
use the same name format: Floatboats K. Bali, Motorbike H. Shrieked,
etc. How can I create a rule to find senders with a middle initial
followed by a period and send their messages to a junk mail folder?
I'm using Outlook 2K.

Thanks!

Rules don't support wildcards or regular expressions, only literal strings
(although specifying the string "male" will also match "malefactor" and
"female"). A better approach would be to either choose another, less
mutable criterion such as a domain in the Received headers or to employ a
tool like http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/
