Default How do you stop certain spam mail in Outlook?

I keep getting these emails that has no "from" addresses, is there anyway to get rid of these emails without a "from" address in Outlook? I tried with the rules wizard (Outlook 2000) but it's not working.

Have you considered getting "MailWasher"? It allows you to screen all your emails while they are still on your server.

That's what I need My email address that I use through outlook at home takes about 30mins to receive my mail because of all the spam that I get so I need to get rid of it from the server rather than waiting for outlook to sort it. Thanks for the link Xviper

u can say what email r friends which r spam .. then block the email domain .. it has its own filter which learns to filter out the crap.

I use POPFile. I installed it five months ago and it has a 99% percent accuracy rate on correctly filtering out spam. You just teach what good and bad mail is and it works amazingly well.

How do these access the mail whilst its still hosted on the mail server? If its an obvious answer never mind I'll work it out when I get on the home cpu and d/l one of these
