I am using Google Apps for Domains to handle my personal email. I have the following filter configured:

Matches: to:(username@example.com)
Do this: Skip Inbox, Mark as read, Delete it


Here is the exported filter XML:

&lt;entry&gt;
    &lt;category term='filter'&gt;&lt;/category&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;Mail Filter&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;id&gt;tag:mail.google.com,2008:filter:1348992826412&lt;/id&gt;
    &lt;updated&gt;2012-09-30T08:16:38Z&lt;/updated&gt;
    &lt;content&gt;&lt;/content&gt;
    &lt;apps:property name='to' value='username@example.com'/&gt;
    &lt;apps:property name='shouldMarkAsRead' value='true'/&gt;
    &lt;apps:property name='shouldArchive' value='true'/&gt;
    &lt;apps:property name='shouldTrash' value='true'/&gt;
&lt;/entry&gt;


Despite this rule, mail to the username@example.com address is not being matched by the filter. Here is one example headers of a mail that was not caught by the filter:

Note that I have tens of other similar filters that do properly match mail per address. It is only this one address / filter combination that is failing to match mail.

To proactively address the obvious red herrings and ensure that the discussion remains focused: I am aware of the dangers of posting a live email address publicly. I am aware of Gmail's excellent spam filters. I am aware of the arguments against catch-all email addresses.

Answer: Another way to say it is that person is in denial.
