Just what I was going to say!
However, this is really a routing issue, not a filtering issue. What do
you want to do if a message is addressed to BOTH 'tig-announce' AND
some other address? Your filter will discard it. I would use a router:
discard:
driver = redirect
senders = dlt@... : rob@emsh
local_parts = tig-announce
domains = ....
data = :blackhole:
