In Outlook Express...

We are going to setup a message rule to automatically delete messages with specific words in the message. Be careful not to include words which may be used legitimately in another context!

Click Tools > Message Rules > Mail > New...

Window 1 Click Choose "Where the message Body Contains the specific words"

Window 2 Click "Delete it & Mark it as read"

Window 3 Click "Contains Specific words"

Add the words that you want banned...

Click OK, OK, OK

You can edit these later by...

Click Tools > Message Rules > Mail, and double click the rule you want to edit

Click "Contains", Add the words that you want banned...

Click OK, OK, OK.
