Default Message Rules

I have created Message rules and applied them for incoming mail to Delete
From Server. Messages where the Subject Line or Message Body contains such
things as Porn etc... My server is a POP 3 server but the messages still
arrive in my Inbox. Anyone have any thoughts or cures for this?

Default Message Rules

You can only select the action Delete it from server from To, CC, Subject
and Size rules. A message body rule at best can be Delete it & Stop
processing more rules as the message must be downloaded in order for the
rule to be able to read the text.

Alex, Thanks for the quick help. Now if I could only figure out how to rate
your response. Directions say there are rating buttons above or below the
message. I don't see any.
