Custom rule to filter on sender name
I am getting a lot of spam with things like "viagra" and "cialis" in the
sender name, where the sender address changes constantly. I'd like a rule to filter on this. Can anyone tell me how? Thanks Philip

Custom rule to filter on sender name
Create a rule for specific words in the text, there's no need for VBA. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : Outlook Categories?

Custom rule to filter on sender name
Thanks for your reply.
I do have rules for the sender address, subject, message header and message body, but they don't catch words in the SenderName field. I am trying to cobble together a custom rule but my VBA skills are next to nothing.

The message header should do it. -- Best regards Michael Bauer - MVP Outlook : Outlook Categories?

Custom rule to filter on sender name
Well I thought so too. Something is apparently blocking the rule from reading
the SenderName in the header. I tested this by creating a rule that successfully detected part of the email address, but my Sender Name rule would not detect anything in SenderName. Hence my quest to make a custom rule. Is there something I am missing? Thanks for your help with this.

Oh nevermind. I just figured out that the rule filter words are case
sensitive. Argh. "Philip Beaurline" wrote: Well I thought so too. Something is apparently blocking the rule from reading the SenderName in the header.
