[Users] Filter is not working as expected

Tue Oct 10 18:56:08 UTC 2023

Hi, Paul.

I re-ran some of my tests using exactly the condition you provided. You can
see below all tests performed as well as the results and the logs generated
by Claws.
The tests 3, 4, 5 and 6 failed. Looking at the logs, due to the fact that
 the first clause does not match and that both conditions must match (&) it
stops the filter before trying the second clause.
Regards.

Using the | instead of the &, the tests 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 passed, but test 3
failed at the second match. My guess is that when there is someone in To or
Cc with example.com domain, the second condition fails (the case of test 3).
The tests 4, 5 and 6 didn't have emails from example.com in To and in Cc.

Regards
