Filter isn't catching the condition

Filter isn't catching the condition

Peter Toye Master Posts: 50 Points: 89 Rating: 3 Authority: 3 Joined: 09 February 2008	#1 0 02 October 2020 12:38:20 I've written a filter for dealing with spam, and one persistent sender is called 'HenryStupt' (with various addresses). But although I've got an active filter saying 'Sender contains HenryStupt' it isn't being caught. Any ideas why? I've looked at the field with a hex editor to see if it's got any strange characters in it, but it doesn't. Peter

Apparently the former is for local searches and the latter for on-server searches, if this is an IMAP account. I volunteer as a moderator to help keep the forum tidy. I do not work for Ritlabs SRL.

Wow ... that is not exactly obvious. I am having trouble with my added ListID: field. I bet that will do it
if so, thanks!
