Given that you want to discard the mail, I would be inclined to try putting it in the first location, so that another Rule doesn't act first and retain the message somehow. This is fairly radical though.
Also, you might want to test the rule out by first sending the unwanted mail to a folder, before just setting the rule to reject the mail. Eg Make a folder "Test" and try the sieve code: Code:
if not header :matches "X-Spam-Known-Sender" "yes*" { fileinto "\\Test"; stop; } |

Since I started this thread, maybe I should post my alternative suggestions.
I have three Fastmail accounts. In all of them. when I'm in the new rules mode there is a link at the bottom of the Rules screen which returns to the old Rules system. Quote:
I don't think it's a good idea to use custom sieve unless the normal rules won't work. In the new Rules system, you can create a rule which discards all messages from people not in your Contacts as follows:

I understand the new rules, but for me I DO NOT want any email delivered to my account unless the from address is in my contacts. To be clearer this email is for cctv vision only and security alerts so it comes from one address so I won’t miss out on emails because its a security system backup address so I only need emails from one address. Hence I am using the discard sieve |
