Right - I'm now getting a tad narked off with being told that I need a pen1s extension or whether I'd like to purchase prescription drugs [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] If I wanted insulting comments, I'd talk to the wife!

So, Outlook XP. I want to set up a rule that deletes all messages apart from those received from my Contacts list.

How do you do it? I can only see how to delete email from a contacts list.....

Or are there any other suggestions - I had 137 Spam messages yesterday

Have a look here. I can't find the original thread (Chiark's I think) on here but this is a anti-spam plugin for Outlook 2000/XP that 'learns'.

Spambayes is excellent and improves with use. It traps about 99% of spam coming in on my machine now.
