Entourage can't do combined AND and branching OR in one rule. So you have to
make two rules:
1) match if ALL criteria are met
If
message is from (mailing list)
subject contains "OS X"
Then
Alert me
2) match if ALL criteria are met
If
message is from (mailing list)
message body contains "OS X"
Then
Alert me
Unfortunately, you can't make one rule which runs a script
match if ALL criteria are met
If
message is from (mailing list)
because "alert me" is not scriptable in some of the usual ways
(notification, bouncing dock). However a script could display a dialog, and
either bring Entourage to the front or let the dialog bounce the Entourage
icon icon in the dock for you; or else it could say something to you:
3) match if ALL criteria are met
If
message is from (mailing list)
Then
Run AppleScript <Alert OS X>
Here's Alert OS X script:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theMsg to item 1 of (get current messages)
set {theSubject, theBody} to theMsg's {subject, content}
if theSubject contains "OS X" or theBody contains "OS X" then
display dialog "OS X message just received"
-- open theMsg
-- say "OS X message just received"
--activate
end if
end tell
Remove any of the "--" to make its line operable.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
