Start simple! Make 5 individual rules, one for each address. If those work, then maybe you can use a more complex rule to reduce the number of rules you have.
As for the syntax, watch out for meta-characters! The "." is one of them and is not handled properly in the rule you showed! This: [EMAIL PROTECTED]|..., should be: [EMAIL PROTECTED]|... Your rule will never match any ".com" email address, as it stands now! You may want to learn more about "regex", Regular Expressions, which is what IMail uses for Rules. Spammers rarely use correct spellings these days, so your subject rule will likely be less effective (and need many more words!) than you desire. This is a good place for using Phrase Filtering and possibly the Normalization setting (after taking Sandy's hints about the Kill list!).

I want to delete all mails coming from a list of 5 e-mails. I create the rule, select the option "from address" and want to delete the mails that contains any of this addresses: [EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|etc.]. But I'm still receiving mails from those addresses. Is there any problems with the sintaxis that I use? I don't know exactly what is going on. Also I'm having this problems if I choose the option "subject" and want to delete all mails that contain in the subject the words: viagra, cialis, vioxx, etc. Any ideas, Best regards, Dino.
