Rules not working

D

David Kohn

I've set of a rule in Entourage which goes like this:

If message body contains viagra
If message body contains xanax
If message body contains size doesn't matter

[and other offensive stuff, you get the picture...]

Delete the message

Execute if any criteria are met

So how come I am getting messages (text, not html) with the words "viagra",
"xanax" etc -- spelled as I have them in my rule -- NOT being deleted?

This is because spammers have gotten smart (is that an
oxymoron :)

Those messages may look like regular text messages, but
they're not. To test, place your cursor in one of the
messages, and press your Return key. If it's text, you
will start a new line. It won't.

I used to base a lot of rules on Body content. I now base
most of my rules (and I have hundreds) on the Subject line
and the From field and sometimes even the To field.

Hope that helps.
