I have 4 email aliases that all deliver to the same outlook inbox.

2 of them are stop@ addresses to be included in a mailing unubscribe link.

Using the simple rules in outlook doesnt work, unless we set them to move emails titled stop, but for ease of unsubscribing, we do not want responders to have to do anything other than send a blank email to the stop@ address.

Our IT guy tried to sort this out, by setting up a rule that all emails sent to stop@ got into a specified folder (stop folder created within inbox), but now, all that happens is all my emails go into the wrong boxes!!!

Any help would be appreciated
