Greetings all,
I have found this "CreateRuleForBlockingMultipleSenders" code that creates a rule for selected email.
However, each time I run it, ire cteates a NEW RULE with the same name, and a new set of sender to block...
What I would LIKE to to is to have the code MODIFY the CURRENT rule and then ADD the selected senders to that rule.

Here is the code (source was How to Quickly Create an Outlook Rule to Block the Senders of Multiple Emails )
Code:
Sub CreateRuleForBlockingMultipleSenders()
    Dim objRules As Outlook.Rules
    Dim objRule As Outlook.Rule
    Dim objMoveRuleAction As Outlook.MoveOrCopyRuleAction
    Dim objFromCondition As Outlook.ToOrFromRuleCondition
    Dim objSelection As Outlook.Selection
    Dim objMail As Outlook.mailItem
    Dim objJunkFolder As Outlook.Folder
 
    Set objRules = Application.Session.DefaultStore.GetRules()
    'Create a rule
    Set objRule = objRules.Create("Block Senders", olRuleReceive)
    Set objFromCondition = objRule.Conditions.From
 
    'Get the selected emails
    Set objSelection = Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection
    'Get Junk Email folder
    Set objJunkFolder = Outlook.Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderJunk)
 
    For i = objSelection.Count To 1 Step -1
        If objSelection.Item(i).Class = olMail Then
 
           Set objMail = objSelection.Item(i)
 
           'Add the email senders to rule condition
           With objFromCondition
                .Enabled = True
                .Recipients.Add objMail.SenderEmailAddress
                .Recipients.ResolveAll
           End With
 
           'Move the emails from blocked senders to Junk Email folder
           Set objMoveRuleAction = objRule.Actions.MoveToFolder
           With objMoveRuleAction
                .Enabled = True
                .Folder = objJunkFolder
           End With
         End If
    Next
 
    objRules.Save
End Sub


Thanks in advance!
