Creating rule

[julsenson]

I receive email notifications from a news service that displays as
follows in my inbox: A Message from XYZ Company

The actual email address "from" however varies every post as follows:
XYZ Company ([email protected]), Where the numbers before the
@service.com vary apparently as a numbered sequence.

Since each email has a different "from" address I haven't been able to
create a rule that applies to subseqent posts therefor all posts end
up in my inbox.

Complicating the procedure is the fact that there are multiple
companies using this service for notifications. I might get the
following every day:

ABCCO ([email protected])
uppinc ([email protected])
XYZ Company ([email protected])

I haven't been able to create a rule that will place these posts in
the folders I desire. Any Ideas?

Yet you do not state that you never subscribed to these mailings. Nor
do you claim they were unsolicited e-mails. If you subscribed to their
mailing list, does it have an Unsubscribe link or can you go into your
account with them and remove yourself from their mailing list?

The actual email address "from" however varies every post as follows:
XYZ Company ([email protected]), Where the numbers before the
@service.com vary apparently as a numbered sequence.

But obviously the domain *is* staying the same.

Since each email has a different "from" address I haven't been able to
create a rule that applies to subseqent posts therefor all posts end
up in my inbox.

Don't include the username field in the e-mail address when filtering
out those supposedly unsolicited spam e-mails.

Nope, just one, ahem, "company".

So why aren't you blocking/filtering on the service.com domain?

1. I do not want to block these emails, I just want to filter them to
folders to folders based upon which company sent them.

2. It appears that the numering sequence I described in the previous
post makes any rule created obsolete as soon as it is created.

3. When I create a rule using Outlook for any other senders I have
not had any problems.

So create a rule that only tests on the domain. Don't include the
variable username. If you are subscribing to multiple companies who
all send their e-mails through the same domain and they all use the
same Subject string then there is no way to different between them
within a rule. Ask each company to send their e-mails where the
return-path headers identify them in the e-mail address, or to put the
name of their newsletter into the Subject string.
