You can add people from your address book to the rule, but that's a one
time set up. Every time you add or remove someone from the address
book, you have go back and manually update the rule. There is no
dynamic link between the rule and the address book.

The phrasing the original poster used leads me to believe that it was
another program where the setting was made.

Wrong Michael. This option is available through the use of Message
Rules.
Use the Rule for "contains people" Then the Address Book and select
all your addresses.
Then go to option and choose "does not contain"
Then select "delete from server" as an action.

There's no such option in Outlook Express.

If you are using some sort of web mail (Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, etc.),
there may be a setting on the web site for the account.

Hey folks,

I've set up email accounts for my kids, and yesterday, for one
account, I
checked the option for "only receive messages from people in my
address
book", or something very close.

Today, for the life of me, I cannot locate that option again for my
other
son. It's driving me crazy!
