Default blocking 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 just checked and there already is a rule for .biz in my rules. It doesn't
stop them. Any other ideas????

This puzzles me because Outlook's rules do not have wildcards. In other
words, the asterisk is just another character.

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.

Gratitude, Carl

Thanks, I will give that a try, but I think I have already done that. I will
give it another try.
