Do you have any other rules that might be somehow overriding that

I've seen suggestions that you may need to finish the rule with a
"stop processing rules".
I've seen it said that what you want is only possible (with OE) if
the
groups are subscribed !!!

But I don't use OE myself...

I suggest you take a look at the many OE related websites -
URL:http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com for example - or ask in a
specialist OE newsgroup.

Thanks. I'll look into those angles. (And, yes, OE's clunky way of
blocking messages from specified groups _does_ require you to
subscribe and then instruct the program to delete all messages from
them. My suspicion at present is that it actually carries out the
instruction only for messages _originating_ from the specified group.
OE is of no interest to M$.)
