Well that sure describes what is supposed to happen. But that is not what IS happeneing. There is exactly one filter line in filters.in.tab, and one line in the corresponding filetr tab (as I showed), exactly one email gets processed. As I did say, the filter is running at least twice for a SINGLE INBOUND MESSAGE. As I understand thats not what is supposed to happen - please instead help me understand why its happening and how to make it not happen.
