Re: Filtering problems

You.re welcome. The rules start checking from the top of the list, so the first rule that affects the message will take control of it's destiny. Glad it's fixed.

Bruce.. You are a GENIUS!!!

You fixed it.  All I had to do was move it up into the number 1 slot!  Not
sure why;  I didnt see it conflicting with any others related to that name
in the From box, but hey, it worked.
So, thanks much.

Put that rule at the top of the message rule list and try. Make sure all
rules that do not Delete it from server also have Stop processing more
rules 
checked. Let me know.
