I really suggest you use the MLM instead of Rules for lists. Since the MLM
runs before rules you are less likely to have a conflict. You can still run
rules on list messages if needed.

We have a section on Rules along with several examples and troubleshooting
tips that might help you.

<http://www.entourage.mvps.org/help/rules.html>

If you still have trouble, if you give your rule perhaps we can spot the
problem. 

Common problems with rules not working....
 
A prior rule is acting on the message and no additional rules are able to
act on that message. You can drag rules to a higher position, but MLM and
JMF cannot be changed. They will run before Rules.

Actions which Move messages or run AppleScripts cannot be followed by other
rules. 

Check your Criteria. You might want to select "if any criteria are met"
