rules in outlook wtf
 

anyone know why i cant create a rule saying 'permanently delete' email that has 'I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.' in the body?

some douche is spamming using my email and it wont let me create any rule to send these fuckin bounced emails straight into the toilet.

well -to be exact, i can create the rule but then the rule doesnt work - dont have permission or something like that.

easy

rules

where message body contains specific words
- enter words

delete

done

If you're using Outlook 2003 you might be shit outta luck the rules don't always process correctly.

You need to press apply in 2 different windows. Once you created the rule and in the general rules window or it wont work.

Georgeyw that doesn't work, he means delete so it's even deleted from your deleted items folder. I haven't found the solution yet either.

rules in outlook 2003 don't always work right, you have to add the same rule 4-5 times sometimes before it catches everything

I have some that are 7 times

there is a permanently delete option, I use it all the time...in fact when you chose to use that it prompts you and says "are you sure, this email will be gone forever" or something like that

trying to see if it will work without 'permanently deleting' ... what a pain in the ass im getting 50 undeliverables a day from spamsuckin douchebags using my addy as sender

thanks 4 help :)
