can I use wildcards in outlook rules 'from sender' field

V

vz_nick

new spam senders are using sender patterns of noreply@random_pattern.net
for example noreply@great_deal.net, or noreply@new_shoes.net, etc.
I'd like to add a rule to delete these junk email. The only means of doing
this
seems to be to specify 'specific words in senders address'. I'd like to be
able to specify that the sender's address contains 'noreply' AND '.net' or
even better a pattern of 'noreply@*.net'. Neither seems to work. Does
anyone have a solution?

Rules are not the way to filter spam. See
http://www.slipstick.com/rules/junkmail.asp - sue's rules is the best way to
use rules against spam. If you use Outlook 2003/2007, set junk filtering on
high.
