FWIW: I joined Noddle over 2 years ago, but I've never had anything from The Trading Floor.

There are 2 The Trading Floors:
https://www.tradingfloor.com/
http://www.callcredit.co.uk/products-and-services/co...

You sure it's the CallCredit one?

To be honest I don't know.

The emails only state

You have received this email because you are a member of The Trading Floor.
We respect your privacy and only send emails to registered users - for more information see email footer.

There is nothing anywhere in the email that gives a URL referring to the trading floor or Callcredit. I'm wary of unsubscribing in case that merely confirms my email address to this bunch of spammers.

Did you try sending one to yourself?

Do you mean forwarding it to myself?

No, I just meant a plain email with the phrase in it for starters to see if it filters.

Thanks for letting me have a copy.

In reply to a post by cheshire_man:

looking at it with HexEdit shows X00 between each character, but I'd guess that's because 2-byte encoding is being used

Eh? Looking at it with both DOS DEBUG & MiTeC HEX Editor does not show here any x00 fillers. It is all plain text and headers state it is all encoded in single byte ISO-8859-1.

Now to try filtering it.

I've sent you another copy of the email, this time saved as an Outlook item - .msg. Examining this file shows the 00 filler bytes amongst the text.

Though this of course may be purely a result of saving the email as a file.

No tried sending a test email and it gets deleted.

That seems to suggest the Outlook Junk filter is taking precedent and my rule isn't getting a look in.

I've turned off Outlook's automatic filter and will see what happens.

Edit:

Just found this

In reference to www.slipstick.com/outlook/rules/rules-and-tools-to-filter-junk-mail/:

Note: The Junk Email filter in Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 runs before Rules Wizard in current versions (with latest service packs installed).

So that says any personal rules are not processed.

I'm reluctant to turn off Outlook's Junk filter permanently so I suspect I'll go back to seeing these emails appear and just manually delete them.

As a point of, perhaps, interest, looking at all of them in the Junk folder, the originating email address domain is one of three:
app<dot>topica<dot>com
safe-routes<dot>com
i<dot>offers<dot>bespokeoffers<dot>co<dot>uk

If I start getting a lot of spam in my junk folder from the same user/domain I add that to the Blocked Sender list which stops them even getting as far as the junk folder. Problem is when they randomly spoof the sender id ...
