Default "Non-Text" Spam Ads

Hold on---how would you do that? If no vowels were found, the rule would
not
select that email to perform the required action (Delete) on, and it would
remain in the Inbox.....Is there some way to specify 'not-x' in the rule
conditions?

Thanks for the help,

Hi Janet;

At one time I had this same problem and experimented for a long time to find
something that would work... I'm going on memory here, so you may have to
experiment to get it right...

Most of this type of spam comes from servers that do not send much other
useful mail - It is probably no loss to block the entire server...

In the message rules you can block all messages from the server that this
mail comes from. Create the rule to block and then
delete the "name" portion, leaving just "

In the beginning - direct it to the deleted folder, which you can manually
check for mail that you may want... After a while you can stop checking...

Worked for me...

:-}
