Does it get categorised as spam when you select 'run all rules? If not, then it is most likely that there is a rule higher up that is catching the message and either moving the message, or the rule has the 'do not apply other rulles�' flag set -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the Entourage FAQ pages? - Check them out: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
