Tools - Message Rules - News - - New:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the From line contains 'mxsmanic'
Mark the message as ignored

Un-check 'Where the message has been read'

Change the name to 'Hide Ignored Messages'


View - Current View - Make Sure 'Hide Ignored Messages' is checked.
