I use a decoy email for "public" subscriptions - woops@....(my domain) where
I want to receive an email once only, but know it's probably going to end up
on SPAM lists. I can then have a rule to permanently delete all those emails
unless I want to specifically disble it for a minute or two to allow one
email to get through. That's the theory anyway, and it used to work on
Outlook 2000...
Now, on Outlook 2003 I'm getting told I don't have appropriate permission
when I run the rule, which is set up as follows:
"Apply this rule after the message arrives
with woops in the message header
permanently delete it
and stop processing more rules"
(I have found that just looking for "woops" in the subject or body misses
LOTS of emails, but looking for "woops" in the header is (was) guaranteed to
work)
The problem would appear to be specifically with the "Permanently Delete"
bit, because if I change the rule as follows, it works fine:
"Apply this rule after the message arrives
with woops in the message header
move it to the deleted items folder
and stop processing more rules"
I have already read that one fix may be to go into Tools-Options-Other
Tab-Advanced Options - and turn off "Warn before permanently deleting items"
In my case, this doesn't seem to make any difference.
In both cases (old Outlook 2000 and new Outlook 2003) I had/have Norton
Internet Security installed, which includes Anti-Spam. Often NIS will pick up
something as spam and move it to the NIS spam folder, but I'm wanting Outlook
to help NIS by recognising and permanently deleting anything sent to woops@...
How can I permanently delete these emails instead of just deleting them?
Thanks,
Chris
