I'm trying to create a filter that will delete messages that come through without any information in the FROM or SENDER fields.

I've tried: "From + Contains + [BLANK]" and "Sender + Contains + [BLANK]" (where [BLANK] is leaving that field empty), and it does not work.

The filter I use is like this: From doesn't contain @ If that line is blank it will not have the @ symbol, but otherwise it will have that symbol, since every email address has it. You could do the same for the Sender line.

Thanks but I do of course use Junk Mail Controls already. That's quite different than this issue. I's not learned behavior I'm looking for. I want to delete ANY message that does not contain a sender address. That'sa filter issue.
