From contains filters don't work

Post by ivanv »

Hi,

I created some filters for email account in Zimbra Web Client (Preferences => Filters) but they are not working.

If I create filter that match "From contains" it does not trigger any emails, not even if I run it manually with Run Filter button.

Let say I have many email from Oracle <support@oracle.com> and I add filter:
If any of following conditions are met
From contains Oracle
Perform the following actions
Move into folder Oracle

For test I added only this filter and not others, tried with/without Do not process additional filters, but without luck, nothing seems to work.

I am using Zimbra 8.8.9 GA on CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804.

Sometimes even Subject contains not working or it stops working after few days..

Hello,

with From you'd better use the email address.

Hello,

thanks for suggestion, I can confirm that From contains works with email address!

I still think that it should work with email name, today many systems reply from one email address but put different Email Name.

I hope it will be fixed to work with email address and email name in future Zimbra versions.

If you want to use email name, I think you should trigger the header From which I think is different from the what display Zimbra in its filters content name.
header From should be like this :
From: Name_Email <email@domain.tld>

It works!!

If I put Header Named From contains EMAIL_NAME, filter works.

Now I understand, Zimbra's From is MAIL FROM (not visible to clients), for visible From (that one in header) it should be used Header Named From

Thank you for your time and help!

Ivan
