1. Click the <Filters> button on the main window. Notice the 2 tabs at the top, From and Body.

From filter - This filter scans the email addresses of the email you receive. If any of the words in the From filter is in an email address of an email, that email is blocked.

Body filter - This filter scans the subject an the body of the email you receive. If any of the words in the Body filter is in the subject or the body of an email, that email is blocked.
