He must still be using databaseben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx becuase my OE
message
rule still works. I do not see his message.

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the From line contains 'pcbutts1@xxxxxxxxxx' or
'LEBANON@xxxxxxxxx' or
'steamer@xxxxxxxxx' or 'ilkergirit@xxxxxxxxx' or
'cincy2hot4uhotmailcom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' or
'databaseben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
Delete it
and Stop processing more rules

I don't see humor in Wesley's post. He's just stating a fact about how
his email filter is set up. Is it the fact that he filters out any of
