Email Blocking Procedures

Email messages may be blocked based upon certain criteria in either the subject line or the body of the email itself. Below are the procedures for blocking email based upon the subject line:

Step 1: In Microsoft Outlook, click on Tools, then Rules and Alerts.

Step 2: Once the Rules and Alerts dialog box opens, click on New Rule.

Step 3: The Rules Wizard dialog box will open. Then make sure the "Start creating a rule from a template" is checked. Then click "Move messages with specific words in the subject to a folder".

Step 4: While in the same dialog box, at the bottom click the underlined "specific words". This will open a new dialog box.

Step 5: In this dialog box you will type the word of the subject line you want to block. In this example we are blocking all emails with the subject line of "Informational". After you type the word, click add.

Step 6: Once you click add, it will drop it down to the search list. Then click OK.

Step 7: You will be directed back to the Rules Wizard dialog. At the bottom you will see that the word "Informational" is now added to the rule for the subject line.

Step 8: Now at the bottom of the dialog box, click the underlined "specified". This will take us to specify which folder the message will be moved to.

Step 9: Here you will specify which folder you want the message to me moved to. In this example we are moving it to "Junk E-mail". Highlight "Junk Email" and then click OK.

Step 10: Then you will be direct back to the Rules Wizard. At the bottom you will see the new rule you created. With this example we are moving any message with "Informational" in the subject line to the "Junk E-mail" folder. Now click Finish.

Step 11: You will then be directed back to the Rules and Alerts screen. As you can see the new Rule named "Informational" is now under the current rules. Click Apply, then OK and you are done.
