Paul,
That gave me the same results one hit the name folder and the mail delivery
failure notice hit the junk folder. Same as my rule. So it did not do what I
want.
You have a lot more experience and recent practice with logic and that is a
given. You are probably seeing some subtleties that I am missing. And I am
the one asking for help, so help me with my thinking.

How about one sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] AND [EMAIL PROTECTED],net? Or even if the
second one is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This will only filter if there are two or more recipients and one is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This will cover most of the spam.

This gives a larger or at least different set than the one that I wrote.
Mine does not exclude all emails.
Emails with one Recipient [EMAIL PROTECTED] should fail the criteria and pass
thru.
Emails with two or more recipients, where one is [EMAIL PROTECTED] should meet
the criteria and NOT pass thru.
Opps, I broadened my criteria, but this is fine as [EMAIL PROTECTED] should
never get a bulk mailing. It is a very narrow use eddy.(How to narrow it
back up?)
Your rule should do this:
Emails with one Recipient [EMAIL PROTECTED]
should fail the criteria and pass thru.
Emails with two or more,
one being Recipient name@<ANY isp> AND
at least one containing name
should fail the criteria and pass thru.
Emails with 3 or more,
one being Recipient name@<ANY isp> AND
at least one containing @myisp.com
[but it could be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
at least one that is not [EMAIL PROTECTED]
should meet the criteria and NOT pass thru.
This is a partially overlapping subset of my results.

An email to only [EMAIL PROTECTED] fails the criteria & pass thru, but one to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] AND another recipient meets all the criteria & get filtered.
