Since I'm using neither CC nor Spamhalter ... I guess I'm just too much of a long-time user ...

I am getting alot of junk mail (40-50 a day) from "notify@twitter.com " thanks to my wife's yahoo account being hacked. I have created a standard header rule
asking that any mail from the above be deleted. It isn't being deleted. I have added another rule asking that any mail with twitter.com be deleted. It isn't. Can anyone tell
me how to create a rule that will delete this mail rather than just putting it into my junk file?
A new mail filtering rule with a header rule type that checks the From address for "notify@twitter.com" (no quotes) should work. Make it the first rule in the list (at least during troubleshooting) to rule out other rules acting on the message first.
You might also try an expression rule that detects "From:*notify@twitter.com*" (again, no quotes) in the headers only.
During troubleshooting I suggest using a set color action so you can see any impact the rule has before letting it start deleting.
There is an rule action called "Set message colour". If the rule is triggered the message then shows up in the new message list in the color specified. It is a safe way of testing or troubleshooting a rule providing visual evidence of what message triggered the rule.
I think you are seeing the "Message colour" button which creates a rule
to detect on the color of a message. The setting I am talking about is
an action of a rule. It is in the same place where you would select the
delete action.

I'm not sure whether this works: PM's spam and content control rules might apply before any new mail filtering is done. If so the only way to delete them prior to spam filtering and content control would be to set up a server-side (POP3) rule ...

I have tried setting up a rule to delete email from "twitter.com". That doesn't work. I have added a rule to the general rule set; hoping it works.

Can you please be more exact? First of all I don't understand what you are replying to. Next you don't say, what you set up the rule for (new mail filtering, POP3 filtering). And finally a general rule set won't work anyway unless you apply it manually. Did you try setting up a coloring rule as suggested to figure out whether your rule works at all? Maybe on your own address for testing (only coloring, not deleting of course!)?

Art,
Can I suggest you look at the headers of one of the messages that went into Junk mail. Towards the end of the headers (blank line separates headers from body of the message). You should find some lines explaining the reasoning for the Spam control taking its actions. Below is an example I received:
From: Dr0z SkinSecret <Alina.Vargas@tiesteam.com>
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2014 16:14:30 -0800
To: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: Revealed: DrOz Reveals NEW-Trick for Gorgeous-Skin
X-CC-Diagnostic: Body contains "to learn more about" (30)
This message scored 30 on the Spam scale and if it scores 50 or more it is handled as Spam (user settable threshold).You should be able to set up a rule that scores 50, with an action of "Delete the message"
HTH

I go to "rules applied when folder is opened". I click on "add rule" and click on "header". I put a check mark next to "from" and select under action "delete". I am trying to delete all the junk mail I get from "twitter.com" before it ends up in my junk or suspicious mail file. Perhaps this isn't the right place to do this?
You actually need a New Mail rule. Check the From box and enter the email address (twitter.com), and add an action such as Delete. Click OK then the Save button to save the rule for processing. That's it.

Once again, Martin: Since Art writes that these spam mails end up in his junk folder they already get filtered by either Content Control or Spamhalter. And if so new mail filtering won't work anymore since these messages are moved before new mail filtering is applied. IOW: He either needs to go the difficult way of white-listing or otherwise modifying Content Control and Spamhalter rules or the easy way to set up a POP3 rule which would delete these messages before they get downloaded by PM.

I am surprised no-one has mentioned the Blacklist facility (Exceptions tab) in Content Control. It would seem to fit in quite well, along with other solutions such as POP3 download rules.
