Hi Donna, 1. Press cmd-comma to open the Mail Preferences. 2. Interact With the Toolbar and activate the Rules pane. 3. Press the Add rule button. 4. Give the Rule a name/title. 5. Navigate right and Interact With the "Criteria Scroll Area". 6. Manipulate the items so that it says "From" - "Contains" - "eMail address or name of intended person". 7. Stop Interacting With the Scroll Area and navigate right to the next Scroll Area and Interact. 8. In this one you can manipulate the items to tell Mail to automatically put the message in the Trash, to Bounce it back to the sender and many other things that would suit your purposes.
You can play with the rule a little by changing the initial criteria to be "Is" instead of "Contains", but this may be a little too narrow and may not do what you ask in all cases. HTH. Later...
