Allow the use of * wildcard in creating rules for Outlook.
I want to automatically delete any mail I receive from anyone at addr.com
(which I believe has been selling my e-mail address for years, ever since I used them as my webhost). I have tried making a rule which says "delete any mail which has " in the sender's address", but I'm still getting mail from them and people associated with them. I also tried "addr.com" and " but I'm still getting mail. I think Outlook should allow the use of an asterisk as a wildcard. |

YES! Outlook should definitely honor wildcards in rules. I get many emails
daily where the subject has a serial number that constantly changes and I need to wildcard that out of the string to match my rule! What a pain it is to not have wildcards!
