• Use the normal rules screen if at all possible (rather than custom sieve). The rules screen has many more features than in the past, and as I mentioned in my earlier post it's easy to use the "Any recipient's email" condition to catch a message no matter how it was sent (To/Cc/Bcc).

Also remember that the normal rules sieve processing order is as follows::

1. Discard rules
2. Spam filtering
3. Forwarding rules
4. Organize into folder rules

Thanks for these suggestions. I initially set up my custom Sieve rules before the Rules screen became so much sophisticated. Perhaps it is time for me to spend the time needed to move many of my custom rules to the "standard" Rules screen.

Can you explain a bit what you mean by ?Use aliases set to reject delivery to block specific usernames at your own domain"? Does this mean to set up an alias and just point it to "nobody"?
