would like to add an extra spam rule of my own but am not sure how to do it. i wondered if in the email fields with in the rules box i can enter 2 email addresses?

the reason being is that i have an email account, (e-mail address removed), it also has a forwarded account to it, (e-mail address removed), so when i download it i have email sent to 2 names on that domain. the rule i want to put is to only let emails through which are addressed to a and b and nothing else as i am getting lots of stuff through this account sent to (e-mail address removed) [you know the type]. i cant put in a rule that covers both as the rules either have to be:

2 separate for 2 separate names, but then one rule, the first in line would contradict the second

or one rule but i cannot use the "all criteria met" drop down as i would have to put in 2 fields for email to let through..

any ideas [if you understand that]?

The easiest way to deal with the spam is forward the account through a Gmail
account or use SpamSieve. Gmail keeps the spam on their server so you can
check through it so you never have to worry downloading all that extraneous
email.

Personally, I find the Entourage spam filter to be adequate.

cant do that Diana. i have around 14 or 15 accounts. please accept this. i have my reasons although i know it sounds strange. all i need is to be able to create a "negative rule" so to speak here i can specify letting only 2 emails of a domain through and sending the rest to the Junk Folder. a rule that says "if the email is this or that, let it through, and let other rules affect it, if it is anything else except these 2, send to junk"

any ideas?

You're just going to have to play around with the criteria to get it to
work. It sounded like it was one specific account that was giving you the
most trouble. Try routing it through Gmail.
