Talk to your ISP about word filters on your mailbox. Nothing to do with
Outlook.

There is no "do not download from server" action in Outlook's rules. If you
can specify that, you're not using Outlook. Click Help>About and post what
you are using and its version.

What is the exact text of the rule that doesn't work? What type of mail
server? What happens if you do a Run Rules Now and run the rule (changing
it to do something like setting a flag), does it work then?
