Little desktop, W2k sp4, Outlook 2000, DSL, etc.

Due to the apparent dereliction of my ISP (ATT), I need to apply a spam
filter to my Email client (O2k).

Would like to have Email containing the text string "Replica Watches"
diverted to a junk folder or "Deleted Items".

This is practical?

Thx,

Did you try creating a rule? If not, you'll need a spam filter. See

I took a look at what the rules wizard had to offer. Wasn't impressed.

I also took a look at the web site. Having trouble sorting it all out.

Being as you're a "MVP - Outlook", I'll ask again:

If so, how?

Why aren't you impressed with Rules Wizard? It is the most obvious way to
do what you want- create a rule that looks for those words and delete the
message if one is found. Otherwise, Outlook doesn't offer another method -
you'll need to use an antispam program.

It will scan the message -body- for "Replica Watches" and delete the
message?

I saw nothing in the Rules Help relating to scan of the message body.

Would appreciate any tips on how to define a rule that will scan the
message body for a user-defined spam-string.

Otherwise, Outlook doesn't offer another method -

I only need something that works.

So, you can't see the "with specific words in the message body" condition?
