MS Office Forum / Outlook / Installation and Configuration / March 2006blocking email using only the domain suffix
I have been spammed with domains that end in .biz recently. They contain pictures, this I cannot seem to get them by using the rules and alerts. I am using Outlook 2003 professional. Does anyone know a way to set this up to block the .biz addresses? How about the spam with only a picture of pills? Thanks!!! You could probably setup a rule that looks for .biz in email headers and move it to the Junk E-mail folder. >I have been spammed with domains that end in .biz recently.

In other words, the asterisk is just another character.  SignatureBrian Tillman Really? I wonder why it worked only after I inserted the *? Whatever the case, I am not having to read all the spam from .biz spammers.
