Receive only email from exclusive members

[jalsa]

I'm receiving so much spam that I wish to setup my inbox to only receive email from people specified in my Address book. Is it possible to setup rules so that it automatically moves all emails to specific folder if the sender is not in my address book?

My hotmail seems to have this feature, so I would hope that lotus has something like this as well. TIA

There is a possibility to set up an agent or a rule for sorting emails, that is certain. Unfortunately, such an agent must run as a scheduled agent, and it will run on the server.
That precludes the possibility of using the agent or rule to check the sender against your personal address book - which is local on your machine.
However, you can set up a profile document with the list of email contacts you have. You can then configure the agent (rule cannot be changed like that I think) to look up the profile document and do the check, thereby enabling the sort.
Your only obligation will then be to keep the profile doc updated whenever you change the info in your address book.

Lotus can handle spam - but that is, to my knowledge, done on the server and handled by an administrator. A single client has nothing for handling spam per se.
