Which version of Outlook? 2003 and 2007 let you block top levels in tools,
options, junk email.

Use the method he http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/rules.htm - use .ru
format, not just ru to reduce the risk of false positives. But I prefer to
do it by charset (to get what the junk filter for domains misses) - look for
words in the header and use the words that identify the charset.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="GB2312" - for this chinese charset, I'd
look for GB2312 in the header.

yes, it should work. Either use delete it or move it to a different
folder
(can be deleted items or a folder you create to verify its working as
designed) then once you are sure its working, change it to delete or
permanently delete.

Unfortunately the filter doesn't work. I am still receiving my own posts
to that
Yahoogroup in Outlook.

It'd be handy if the Yahoogroup had an option "do not receive own posts".

Another one. How do I filter on domains based on country?

In the filter rules if I enter a domain it asks for the whole domain such
as
spamalot.com.it or spammers_r_us.co.uk or spammed.com.nl.

I'd like to be able to filter purely on the .nl, .ru, .it etc. domains but
it
won't let me.

I've created a rule to filter on specific text.

eg:

".ru" or ".nl"

as it appears in the dialog box. I don't know if this will work, though.
