MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / May 2008e-mail from Russia
i am getting e-mail that looks like it comes from Russia (funny looking letters) i keep adding them to my block senders list however i seem to be getting more and more fo them lately (200 plus a day) I would like to make a rule to just delete them but i can not find the letters anywhere to type into the rule. Can anyone help me with this blocked senders is useless -they keep changing the address. Assuming Outlook 2003 or 2007, go to tools, options, junk email and look on the international tab. Block most of the encoding (not ASCII, western European, possibly not Latin 3 and 9 and any others that would be used by people you correspond with in other countries)  SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: dailytips-subscribe-request@lists.outlooktips.net Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM > i am getting e-mail that looks like it comes from Russia (funny looking > letters) i keep adding them to my block senders list however i seem to be [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > into > the rule.

Can anyone help me with this Adding them to you Blocked Senders List won't help you as they don't reuse the email address. The result would be a poorly performing filter. It's better that you remove those addresses. Are they sent in a special encoding which you don't use or a certain top-level domain you never receive messages from? Then you can block these. If you want to do it by a rule; can you copy and paste the characters?
