Rule for multiple messages

I tend to get spam in bunches: 3 or 4 or more messages in a row from
the same source. Is there a way to configure the message rules for mail
to delete multiple messages from the same sender? Would cut down on my
spam a lot.

You can add the senders address to the blocked senders list or you could
just add the entire domain to the list. Example: sends
you a spam you can enter to the blocked senders list
to just block e-mail from that address or you can add Hotmail.com and block
e-mail from anyone using a Hotmail.com address. To access the block senders
list:
1. Open Outlook Expres.
2. Go to Tools - Message Rules - Blocked Senders List and add the e-mail
address or domain name.

I hope this information is helpful.

It's helpful. Thanks. But the spam never comes from the same sender
twice, and I woulnd't want to block a domain like, say, hotmail. I was
wondering if there was some way to configure a rule that would delete
messages on the basis of four or five having the exact same subject
line.

Unfortunately no. The OE messages rules are very limited and nothing lets you look at
another message.

And blocking senders is a waste of time for spam.

If this is with your Yahoo account, Yahoo does a pretty good job of blocking spam. My ISP
contracts with Yahoo for mail servers and their filters typically catch 95-99% of the spam
I get.

ISP based spam filters can do a much better job than OE since they can compare messages
coming into all of their users.
