email filter - Is there an alternative to Outlook rules?

I have asked a number of questions around Outlook rules and no matter how small I make the names and how efficient I make the rules, I ultimately still hit the 32 limit at about 40 rules.

Is there any alternative to do this job since Outlook rules just doesn't seem scalable to keep up with the way people are emailing over the past 10 years.

Answer

If you don't mind a commercial add-in product: http://www.sperrysoftware.com/Outlook/Incoming-Mail-Organizer.asp

There are other options as well, such as addins that allow you to organize and search your email much more efficiently, reducing the need for a lot of rules:
