Rules and the "Received" header

R

Richard M. Hartman

Since spammers regularly mess with the "To" and "From"
headers, the "Received" header is frequently the best way
to tell where a message actually came from.

Unfortunately, Outlook 2000 seems to think that the
only useful piece of information in the Received header
is the _time_ received! If I find a site that appears in
the "Received" headers of a lot of spam, and try to make
a rule to exclude it, the only option I have is "Header
contains" because it doesn't have a specific "Received"
header option ... and checking for "Header contains"
doesn't even work! The "Advanced Find" may give us
a clue why ... in the "Advanced" tab of "Advanced Find"
you can choose the Received header if you look in "all
mail headers" ... but the only conditions offered are
time related!

Does ANYBODY know a way to filter based on a site
mentioned in the Received headers???
