Wildcards and Outlook Express

[CaptTuna]

Does Outlook Express accept wildcards when adding rules to block messages?

Probably. In boxes where you type specific words etc...Fu*.* would probably catch all words that start with fu.

The most effective spam controller I've found is HOTMAIL. Athough it does generate a lot of spam, it also has a feature that allows ALL E-MAIL not from a listed address in my Hotmail address book to be delivered directly to the Junk Mail folder.

This is acutally preferrable to having it automaticly deleted. New people can still get hold of me. It gets downloaded into OE as a separate folder. Anything in my INBOX is from someone I know. Most of the JUNK folder is junk. I just scan the headders for someone new.

It only takes a minute to upload my OE address book to Hotmail and a minute to add someone new to the Hotmail site.
