in Outlook: Rules Create Multiple Duplicate Message | Microsoft Outlook | Tech-Recipes on Tech-Recipes
My experience is that "stop processing more rules" doesn't work as you would think. It looks to me like "stop processing more rules" is followed even when the test condition doesn't match.

You put in a rule: "check messages when it arrives where subject contains "viagra", delete it and stop processing more rules.

It goes check all messages, if the subject contains "viagra", delete it, then (even if not containing "viagra") stop processing more rules - not as you might expect, "stop processing more rules" IF the subject contans "viagra."

I had to remove the "stop processing" instruction in my early spam handler rules to get the behaviour I wanted.
