Microsoft Rules! Or does it?

Rules giving me a duplicate headache in Outlook

I'm using MS Outlook 2003. I created 2 rules.

I wanted emails sent to a specific email address go into a specific folder, and all other emails sent to that website's domain name (but not that specific email address) go into another folder.

rule 1: when the message arrives, move it to FOLDER1 if it is sent to HUBIE@YOURDOMAIN.COM rule 2: when the message arrives, move it to FOLDER2 if these words are in the recipients address: YOURDOMAIN.COM
Desired result - an email sent to hubie@yourdomain.com goes into folder one. Rules stop.
Actual result - an email sent to hubie@yourdomain.com goes into folder1 AND folder2.

QUESTION - what did I do wrong? I moved rule 1 higher than rule 2, doesnt that give it precedence? It seems to be processing both rules.

As always,

Hubes

Hubie,

there is a
'stop processing more rules' option on the 'select actions' wiz page(the same page that has 'move to this folder').
this will prevent the message from being processed by another rule.
