Is there a way to drop messages by their from name (not their from email address)?
Hi,
I tried to create a transport rule to do this, but it did not work. I want to exclude by name "Dr. Haengwoo Lee" which keeps coming in with different email addresses...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alan

Can you provide details on the rule? What are you filtering against? I'm thinking text pattern or word in the subject, body or header should be able to do this, especially with something as particular as "Haengwoo".Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

Hello,
Please verify your exchange version.
How is your transport rule create?
In my exchange 2010 environment, I create this rule, when the sender's properties contain specific words(display name), delete the message without notify anyone. And it works.

I added an Organization Configuration -> Hub Transport -> Transport Rules Tab ->
Apply Rule to Messages
When the From Address Contains Dr. Haengwoo Lee
silently drop the message
Should I use "when the from address contains text patterns" instead?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am using Exchange 2007. What about the one that says:
When a message header contains specific words
It wants me to click "message header" underlined in blue to replace it with something? What should I put here?
Thanks,
Alan

OK... I am blocking messages with either haengwoo or Haengwoo in either the subject line or the body using this condition:
"When the Subject Field or the body of the message contains haengwoo"
But in your case, he shows up in the address? But always a different address?
EDIT:
Try:
"When the from address contains text patterns"
---------
Otherwise, yes, what do you put in the Message Header field? I'm trying to figure that out myself!
Any message header! We don't care!

OK, I tried:
*.*
For the message header field. Not quite what was recommended here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en/exchangesvrsecuremessaginglegacy/thread/8df28669-dccf-4863-bc54-b2c79eccf02c
What happens if you use that?
Or try...
"When the from address contains text patterns"
That might be better.
