What I am looking for is a way to set up Outlook 2000 to auto scan incoming messages for a phone number or a physical address, if none is found I want to be able to bump the message back to the sender with a message that the message was refused due to missing phone number or physical address.

This would be a challange. I suppose you could use an e-mail filter program for filtering out smut and enter all valid zipcodes and telephone area codes and filter out any that did not contain at least one. If the program would simply place them in two different inbox directories, you could simply reply to the valid inbox and return the rest via a Visual Basic program. Perhaps calling software companies that sell this kind of filtering software (for smut) would think this is a great new application for their software filtering engine and would tailor their package for you. Obviously someone you know, with Visual Basic experience, could perhaps program this for you as well.
