Re: rules again
Oh, OK. I had thought of that, but since it always displays that way I just kept both. I'll try taking the name out and see what happens.

Re: rules again
Donna, I wouldn't have both the name and address in this edit field. One or the other would be more likely to work properly. Later...

Re: rules again
Hi Tim, thank you! Once again you nailed it. Instead of from, I hadn't noticed that field, and had that option set to any recipient. It is now set to From, so hopefully all will be well.

Re: rules again
Hi Tim, I copied the contents of the address field, so his name and full email address.

Re: rules again
Donna, I tested the process I outlined to you and it worked as it should for me. Maybe, try the following: 1. Select a message from the person you wish to filter. 2. Press cmd-comma to bring up the Preferences. 3. Select the Rules tab. 4. Interact with the Rules Table and select the rule you created. 5. Press the Edit button. 6. Interact with the Criteria Scroll Area. 7. Make sure the first item is "From". Actually, if you already have it as "From", change it away from "From" then back again. 7. Leave the second item as "contains". 8. If you navigate to the edit field, the address of the person you wish to filter should automatically be entered into this field. 9. Make sure that "Delete" is set for the Action. If you have multiple eMail accounts or a friend that you could confirm things with, you can test things by doing the following: • Set up a Test rule whereby you do the same action as outlined above, but using your friend's address or your second eMail address. • Send yourself an eMail or have your friend send you one depending on your situation. • When you check your mail, it will ding but no eMail will appear, not even in the Trash mailbox. If it works in the test situation, then it should work for the spammer. If it does not, then your spammer has a false address in the return address field in which case you'll need to use other criteria to perform this action. If the problem persists, forward me one of the spam eMails off-list and I'll help you with the criteria. Later...
