Rules in 2007 aren't working... ideas?

[Adam]

For some reason a rule in Outlook isn't working correctly. When it is set to
run automatically it doesn't work, but when I run it manually it does. I've
tried deleting it and creating it again, but it doesn't work. Anyone have
any ideas b/c I'm stumped?

Thanks,
Adam

My rule:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
with "X words"
Move to the Deleted Items folder
except if sender is in Outlook Address Book

Note: I've also tried to delete it, instead of moving to deleted items folder.

Might there be another rule that would apply to these messages that aren't
leaving the Inbox?

Nope. That's the only rule I have.

Has it ever worked?

What type of mail account is this?
