Specify an Outlook rule condition based on words in the sender's address

According to the documentation, I should be able to specify a condition in my Outlook Rule that matches based on a partial string match of the sender address by specifying the text to match in TextRuleCondition.Text on the condition of type olConditionSenderAddress:

But, I cannot find the appropriate property to set within the Rule.Conditions object. If I enumerate a newly created rule's conditions, there is no existing condition of type TextRuleCondition having ConditionType == olConditionSenderAddress. The only condition with the correct ConditionType is an AddressRuleCondition, which has no Text property.

How do I programmatically specify a condition in an Outlook 2010 rule where the sender address contains a certain string?

You can use Conditions.SenderAddress rule condition and use its address property like bellow:

Dim colRules As Outlook.Rules
Dim oRule As Outlook.Rule
Dim oAddressRuleCondition As Outlook.AddressRuleCondition

Set colRules = Application.Session.DefaultStore.GetRules()
Set oRule = colRules.Create("Sender Rule", olRuleReceive)
Set oAddressRuleCondition = oRule.Conditions.SenderAddress

With oAddressRuleCondition 

    .Enabled = True
    .Address = Array("example")

End With

.....

colRules.Save
