I am running OE6 under Win2000Pro, with all of the latest updates installed.

I get lots of spam emails sent to a small set of TO: or CC: addresses at
earthlink, so I have created a series of rules attempting to control the
junk, but the main rule doesn't seem to be working. Here it is, in a clip
from the actual rule display in OE6:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the To or CC line contains ' or
' or ' or
' or ' or
' or ' or
' or ' or

' or ' or
' or '

Delete it

and Stop processing more rules

Individual messages are always downloaded and then deleted from the
earthlink server, so I simply want to delete them from my own OE6 client as
soon as they are downloaded when they contain any of these junk email
addresses.

Is there perhaps a limit to the number of "or" entries in a rule that
keeps the rule from executing. I suppose I could have fewer entries in each
of several rules, but what is the actual limit if there is one.
