Aha! So that's what I did wrong! No, I did not enter each one separately, I
used a comma and a list. Yes, I did first select Delete from server. Yes, I
did click the options and change to 'Does not contain' I guess (I hope) my
problem was the fact that I did not add each one separately. I will correct
that now. Thanks and I hope it works...
