Smut e-mails w/o FROM address

How can I get these mails into my Adult Junk folder?
Here is the message (as best as I can remember): There is
no FROM address, so it cannot be added to junk e-mail
folder.

You'll have to create a rule that filters on some other criterion than the
From address.

Couldn't you set up another rule to delete emails with 'No' sender names? This is what I have done on the Exchange server itself, using the Symantec Email Security software.

Not without a third-party program, as you yourself admit.

How about a rule with absolutely no selection criteria, that moves the mail
to the "Adult" folder *except* where from contains "@" ?

This has the feel of a high risk strategy, so don't implement it with any
actions that would lose mail before you have tested it. To do this I tend
to make the new rule move the items to a folder not used by anythig else,
and also to add a recognisable category, such as "Testing", so I can be
sure that it was my new rule that is moving things in this way.

Create a "Junk" Address boo
In 2003, create a new rule
Start with a Blank rule, use the two options, "with specific words in the sender's address" and "sender is in specified Address Book" and on this machine only (automatically adds).
"Specific words" should include, "", a single space
"Specified" should point to the "Junk" address book
Add junk email senders to the address book

As Swifty said, don't set a 'delete' criteria until you have test the rule. Once you know it works, modify the rule to fit what you desire.
