How do I junk all *@*.info email? I've added *@*.info to the junk mail but I
still receive mail from the info domain.

Set up a rule that says Permanently delete messages with specific words in
the header and add .info as the specific words.

Thanks for the fast answer. I tried to set a rule but it says I can't set
rules for HTTP e-mail accounts. Can you think of other ways?

MSN or Hotmail? Log in with your web browser and see if you can set a rule
there.

Been there and couldn't find a place for rules. They have some preset
selections but none that allow me to set what I want to exclude.

Then you can't do it then. :-(

How about creating a new rule to send them straight to the Delete folder? I
found this procedure in another posting and it worked for me.

In Outlook 2003:
- Tools menu > Rules and Alerts
- Click New Rule
- Choose Start with a Blank Rule
- Choose "Check messages when they arrive"
- Click Next
- Check "with specific words in the senders address"
- Click on "specific words" in the bottom pane
- Enter '.info' and click Add in the dialog box that appears and Click OK
- Click Next
- Check "move it to the specified folder"
- Click on 'specified' in the bottom pane
- Choose a folder to move the items to
- Check "Stop processing more rules"
- Click Next
- Click Next to skip exceptions
- Name the rule and do the finishing steps in the dialog

Create a rule that looks for ".info" in the headers. Rules do not support
wildcards, so your junk mail entry will never do anything.
