I have recently been deluged with emails marked "Delivery Status
Notification" or similar (maybe 20-30 a day).

Is it possible to create a rule in outlook which deletes all mails apart
from those addressed to specific addresses (e.g. and )?

Also can this same rule be used in OE as I use that at home?

Thank you

Are these DSNs for messages you yourself tried to send, or are they perhaps
the result of some spammer or virus spoofing your e-mail address as sender?

Not likely - I can't imagine how you'd keep that list maintained anyway. You
don't mention your version of Outlook, but if you're using OL2003 you might
use a search folder (query) to identify and deal with all such messages - so
you can delete them en masse.

Also can this same rule be used in OE as I use that at home?

No - rules are entirely different in OE.

Thank you

The latter. I'm not sure if it's a spammer or virus.

I'm using OL2002

So you don't have search folders, but you could still create a rule to
delete all these messages or move them to another folder.

Each of the DSN's is addressed to a different three/four letter prefix of my
email address (e.g. , ) so I can move them manually
but I can't imagine a rule that would do this.

btw thanks for your interest

I think you can use a rule that looks for hrvx@ in the message
headers....but I'd probably look at the sender instead (system
administrator).
