I am using Outlook 2003 at work and I am getting so many spam mails (I know that there are spam filter settings but its not catching everything and the work spam filter is also not working at the moment).
In the message 'Rules and Alerts' settings, I don't know if I can do the following :
1) Check the message is from '<mydomain>.com'
If 'yes', move to Inbox
2) If 'No', move to 'another folder'
Basically, I want the filter to only allow internal mails to arrive in my Inbox.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance.

1. Go to the Tools menu
2. Click on Rules and Alerts
3. New rule
4. Click next
5. Uncheck 'people or distribution list'
6. Find and check 'with specific words in the senders address'
7. In the step 2 section at the bottom, click on specific words and change it to your domain
8. Then change specified to the folder you want.
I'm not sure if you can do negative rules (i.e. if something is not from mydomain then ...). Everything else will end up in your inbox.

Ha! You and Saeed are great! Thanks. I used Saeed's format but needed the 'stop processing rules' ticked too! Thanks guys!
Method:
1.On the Tools menu click Options
2. On the Preferences tab click Junk Email
3. On the Options tab select Safe Lists Only
4. In the Safe Lists tab, click Add
5. Enter the domain you want to see in your inbox eg yahoo.com. Repeat this step to add all the domains you want eg hotmail.com, or any specific emails that are not already in your Contacts
6. Click Apply
This is an alternative solution which keeps your domain (plus any other domains you want and Contacts) in your Inbox, and moves everything else to "Junk E-mail".
