I hope this question isn't too stupid. Is there a way to block messages with Forwards and Attachments except for RootsWeb Digests? Jennifer Braswell [email protected]

When a new message rule is created, there are two options that cover both of your questions. For the Forward, select "Where the subject line contains specific words:", enter ,,, FW: ,,, for the rule trigger. then select the "where the message has an attachment" ,,,,,,,,,,, be sure and put the Boolean Operator OR between the two triggers. ,,,,, select the option concerning what you want to do with them ,,,,, in line 4 (Name of rule) , you can enter any name you want, you do not have to accept the one that is there. Just be aware that filtering on FW: should catch all true Forwards, it will also filter a message that contains the three characters FW: anywhere in the subject line, whether it is a true Forwarded message or not. Also I'm not sure if these filters are case sensitive or not, but if they are, you can string out the triggers to cover all variations : EXP: FW: or Fw: or fw: Under Action to take ,,, do not select the option not to download it from your server, not downloading from your server can cause your mail box to fill up and start bouncing incoming mail.
