Default Outlook Rules using name list


I'm looking for a good way to use Outlook Rules to filter for specific
words in the subject line and move these to a specific folder, which is
simple enough, except the list of words (names) I'm using the rules to
look for has now exceeded 500.

This worked extremely well when the list of name was in the rule itself
and was less than 80 names, but when I "loaded up" more names in the
rule I discovered the 32kb limit in rules for Outlook 2003.

Where the rule had moved only the specific messages as desired it now
moves all messages!

I need to share this rule or at least the functionality with a
coworker, but now I can't get it to work.

Specifics:
Running Exchange Server and Outlook 2003 SP3
Running the rule on demand ("Run Rules Now"), not as the message comes
in.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.



(and I run this on demand, not automaticall
