Found a good filter while working thru the Outlook Rules Wizard:
where my name is not in the To box
delete it
except where my name is in the Cc box

Since I set up that rule, 99% are going straight to the wastebasket.

Where is this, or how do you get to this? What version of Outlook, is it
Outlet Express, or Outlook, and what # version?

It sounds like exactly what I need.

It's in Outlook. I have Outlook 2000, so I expect it's in Outlook 2002/XP
as well.

I primarily use Outlook for mail instead of OE because of it's added
features. The down side is it supports only one email address. Other, low
use email addresses I have I set up in OE.

OE has a very limited rules function. It doesn't have the "not in" type
filter. You might be able to do something similar by having it move mail
with you in the to and cc boxes to a separate folder and then deleting what
is left.

This works because the majority of spam doesn't actually have your email
address in the To box.
