Can I block certain domains from reaching my inbox. Example; I want to
block spam from @yahoo.co.in without blocking @yahoo.com.
I'm getting lots of SPAM (crap) from what appears to be from other
Countries.

If possible, explain how.
Thanks

Too bad - Outlook 2003 offers to block TLDs from countries that you do not
want to receive mail from. This is not possible in Outlook 2002.

I guess I will wait... I assume a new version will be out at the end of the
year (2006/2007 version).
I'm pretty sure all of the Office Products will be coming out too.
Especially after Vista is Released.

If OL 2002 rules support looking in the headers, then search for "co.in".

I think it does and that may help. Unfortunately, I will have to add
several Countries.
Thanks... I will give this a try.

I tried this but it did not work. You can't search for a partial content in
the header. You can do this in the subject and/or body only. Thanks
anyway. Maybe I should move to version 2003? Is that free or one that has
to be purchased? My 2002 version came with Office XP. A new version of
Office will come out near the end of the year but if Outlook 2003 is free, I
will do it.

Thanks again.

I don't believe that's true. I'm pretty sure you can search for any string
you want in the header. Why do you believe it doesn't work?
