1. go to mail prefs. 2. go to mail rules.
3. click add new rule. 4. Now click the criteria you want to add. Be very careful when doing this. 5. click the actions you want to happen. 6. click ok. You can even do this on your web provider's mail server, but I cannot walk you through this as every provider is different but I have several addresses that go to the trackh mainly as I like to call junk mail that goes direct to the trash, and it works well server side. Feel free to test the mail rules, they are your best friend and I've been using them for close to about 14 or so years. Take care and be blessed.
