Is it more ... ambiguous ... in the app(s)?
That portion of the user interface is nearly identical in the iOS (iPhone or iPad) interface (both normal and beta) compared to the normal PC web interface. The only difference is the New Rule and Edit web interface buttons are replaced by icons on mobile devices.

I can't see any way for the rejection icon (circle with slash) to be immediately adjacent to an email address. It's instead to the left of the rule itself, not any email address. So I think the poster was just describing a discard rule containing the address they could not receive. Obviously if the message is permanently deleted by a rule it can't be read!
