First timer here. looked for this solution with no clear results. Here is the situation -
I am using filters to weed out wacky emails. I am naming the rules with category names for example - extensions, would consist of domain extensions such as .ninja, .work, .xxx and so on.
I do not edit my file directly, I use the cpanel account level filtering interface. I have structured the rule as this -
RULES:
from, ends with, .ninja (.ninja being what I want to catch)
ACTIONS:
Deliver to folder /mydomain.com/kickbacks
Stop Processing Rules
email that get sent thru the rule: [email protected]
Now when I use the test form to see if the rule works, it proves to me that it does by showing me all of the information that pertains to it. However, when I check a mail account on a local computer, I see the email that the rule was spose to catch. Why does the test form catch it, but fail when I check the email account that I set the rule for?
As an added bonus, when I change the rule from "ends with" to "contains" they work all the time. The problem i have with the way of checking is I have already had an email that "matched" a string I used ".ca" unfortunatly we have a legit emailer whos email is "[email protected]". So this is how I came across this issue. I wanted to check the end of the "from" string. Alas as my previous statement says, its not working. Can anyone give me a clue as to what I did wrong? I did do some reading on how these work, I am computer and internet savvy and I thought I was using it correctly. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I tried to edit my original post but it would not let me. Here is some additional info:
Just want to be clear when I say I am checking an account to test the rule, I am not sending a test mail from any account I own. I get enough junk mail that all I have to do is wait 5 min and I can run a test knowing it came from the bogus sender that I want to catch.
