Outlook - Writing a rule

I want to be able to write a rule that will handle mail at different names
that are all at the same domain.  ([name]@domain.com)

I tried "where the from line contains @domain.com" but that doesn't seem to
be working.  Any suggestions??

Unfortunately, neither of these articles addresses my particular issue.   I
guess what I really want is a wild card that I can place in my rule.  The
way the rule is currently written:

processing more rules"

I was hoping this would pick up all messages from this particular domain
name regardless of the sender's unique identity.  Is there a wild card
character I could type in from of the @ in my rule?

You can set domains to be blocked or deleted so it should work.

Where the from line contains people
Move it to the specified folder & Stop processing more rules
Click on Contains People and Add the domain. Ex: @yahoo.com.

The important part is that this rule /must/ be at the top of your rules
list.

In general:

Have all rules that divert mail to folders first.

Delete it from server next.

All others last.

Make sure that every rule also has Stop processing more rules checked,
unless that option is grayed out.

Thank, Bruce.  I will try moving this rule to the top of the list and see if
that helps.

No. MS Outlook Express is too simple to allow wildcards in rules.

I certainly successfully took Bruce's advice in deleting all
news group posts  from gmail.com. I determined that there were
exactly 7 posters that I wished to read and allowed them, again
following Bruce. This was done by having another rule identical
with the delete one that highlighted posts from gmail in color
and did not activate the delete rule until I was sure what I
wanted.
