This actually happened to me a couple of times when I tried to send a copy
of the main system filter to my personal machine to use there, by emailing
it. I had a similar problem while trying to test the filters after I
installed them on my machine, I just couldn't figure out why it wasn't
logging, the messages that matched the filter were not arriving, but they
were not getting logged either, then I realized that the same filters were
in effect for the machine I was sending _from_, and they were getting filtered
there before they ever made it to the other machine =)...
