Filter on BCC

[gardenweed]

I have a filter in my gmail that searches on my email address, and if successful, it forwards the email to another account.

The filter is simply:
Matches: to: (my_email_address)
Do this: Star it, Forward to another_email_account

I am using a domain on my gmail account. It is not a straight "gmail.com" account.
By using this filter I forward only those emails which were sent to my genuine email address rather than junk that is sent to not_my_name@my_domain.com

Now this works fine for any email that is sent either To or CC: to my gmail address.

However if an email is BCC'd to my gmail address, the filter does not work.
I have tried filtering on "Delivered-To: my_gmail_address" but this does not work.

Any ideas as to how I can filter BCC'd emails?

Possibly because the proper syntax is deliveredto:username@gmail.com, see here.

I think you are right.
I tried filtering on "deliveredto: " and the email I was trying filter did show up.
Thanks janusz.

What lead me astray was that I looked at the actual headers, and saw that the header was shown as "Delivered-To", so I used this.
Which as you point out, was incorrect for the search syntax.

Thanks for your help
