Finally! I've defeated the Spam!

I've finally discovered a way to EFFECTIVELY filter SPAM in my email (in Microsoft Outlook).

For the longest time I was using the 'Junk Email' filter, which hunts by the domain name (the stuff after the @).

Which is fine, until the crafty bastards start spamming with SUB-domain names (like if the filter found @equalamail.com, they'd change it to @equalamail.foryou.com)

Then I finally discovered that I could use a Rule (in the Rules Wizard) that filtered by specific words in the senders email address! Probelm solved!

So instead of the 'Junk Email' filter being hung-up on domain names, the Rule Wizard finds all instances of email addresses that have 'equalamail' in it.

I've finally WON over the BASTARDS!!!
