deleting message with certain wording

Spamhalter puts what it deems as spam
into the defined as the "Spamhalter spam folder".
Tools > Spam and content controls > Spamhalter...

Suggestion - if the mail is POP'd consider a POP3 rule
which either deletes, or perhaps initially while testing,
leaves the mail messages on the server.
e.g.
    If header "S" is
    "Considered UNSOLICITED BULK EMAIL, apparently from you"
    DeleteOnServer ""

I had my email hacked recently and the hacker sent messages that are now being returned to me with this subject:  Considered UNSOLICITED BULK EMAIL, apparently from you.  I have added this info to my spamhalter info to be deleted.  But, it still shows up in the automatic folder that Pmail sets up and calls "Junk or suspicious email".

How do I get it to go to the delete folder immediately.  I have emptied the .pmm for the Junk or suspicious email folder and then deleted the folder, but Pmail resets the folder and sends the emails there.  I am getting 40 or 50 or more daily.

How do I get these messages to delete rather than having to delete them myself?

Thanks, Bobbie

In this case I would create a general rule set then assign it to the junk mail folder as a folder open filter set.  That way the filter will activate each time you open the junk mail folder.  To do this go to Tools | Mail filtering rules | Create/edit general rule set.  Create a new rule set named something like Bulk Email Cleanup. Now add a header rule, tick the subject tickbox, then enter "unsolicited bulk email" (no quotes) in the "contains this text" box.  Now select an action.   I suggest selecting a set message color action for testing so you can see the action of the filter without affecting any messages.  Once you know it is detecting the correct messages you can change the set message color action to any other action you like, probably a delete action.

Now, to set this rule as a folder open rule, right click on the Junk or suspicious email folder in the folder list, select "Attach a folder-open filter set", then select the Bulk Email Cleanup rule set that you just created.  Now, each time you open the Junk or suspicious email folder this rule set will run. 

Adding rules to this rule set can help automate the cleaning out of the junk mail folder minimizing the number of messages to review for false positives.  The help file and manual contain detailed information about filtering and how the rule options work.

I tried the above to see if it would work. It did not but I finally got spamhalter to work on this message. It is not going to my delete folder.  (big sigh)  Thanks for your help.
