Retrieve one of the messages that gets past the filter rule. Use this
message to test the filter using the -bf option. Turn on debugging if
necessary. That might give some clue as to what is happening.

Also, try adding some logfile and logwrite commands to the filter and
wait for another message to fail. That way, you can check that that
filter is actually being run when it should be.
