I've realized where my problem lies. The filter actually works fine. The
address underdog@??? has a forwarding to bigmailbox@???,
like several other accounts on this virtual domain. My concern was that
the final MTA that get's this mail would not know how to deliver it when
it's found in this common bigmailbox (DomainPOP).

I have removed the forwarding and now it seems fine.


Thank you all.
