Default Failure of Rules Processing -- 2

Sorry, but I don't understand your response. Let me try once again - for
the third time -- to clarify my situation...

1. I get lots of spam.
2. From what I can see going through each of these spam messages, MOST OF
this spam includes a limited set of addressees in either the TO: or CC: part
of the email.
3. I have never received a relevant email which included any one of this
set of spam-associated email addressees in either the TO: or CC: address
list.
4. I therefore want to Delete any and all emails which include at least one
of these spam-associated addressees in either the TO: or CC: list of
addressees.

That is what I am attempting to accomplish with my proposed rules.

My point and problem is this:
-- IF I have a list of known "bad" (i.e., spam-associated) addressees that
might appear in either the TO: or CC: line of an email..
-- the easiest thing for me is to continually build a list of the "bad "
addressees, and create ONE rule which says that, any time a message contains
at least one of these addressees in either/or the TO: or CC: lines...
DELETE the @#%&$&%@#$ message.!!!

THAT is what I want to do -- and that is what OE6 does not seem to have a
simple -- and workable -- solution for.

Following up on my earlier post on this subject, it appears that the

Rules
processing operation may get confused when a Rule refers to people and
there
is more than one name in both the Rule and the address list.


????????????????
In the first rule, after entering the vowels click Options and select Does
Not.
