When setting up a pattern-redirect in Google Workspaces > Gmail> Default Routing, I am getting bounces when using 'Change Envelope Recipient' > 'Replace Recipient'.
If I use the same address in 'Add More Recipients', then the BCC is delivered correctly. If I use them both at the same time (replace & BCC) then I both receive a bounce at the sending address with 'address not found', and also the additional delivery at the target address.
I would prefer to 'Change Envelope Recipient' rather than 'Add more recipients' because I would like to set up some pattern redirects & then have a catch-all for anything that didn't match a pattern. Eg
*.test#mydomain.com > test#mydomain.com
*.prod#mydomain.com > prod#mydomain.com
*#mydomain.com > catchall#mydomain.com
I assume (not tested) that if I have a rule that replaces the envelope that runs before my catch-all, the catch-all will not catch an email that has been redirected to an account.
I could of course just build a rule for the catch-all that ignores anything with the other rules matched, but ideally I would prefer not to do that.
The problem turned out to be pretty simple: the greedy match-lots + symbol isn't allowed. (Noticed this nugget at the bottom of https://support.google.com/a/answer/1371417)
Somehow, that resulted in the pattern matching on "Add More Recipients", but bouncing on "Change Envelope Recipient"
The question is moot though because even though the rules execute in order, redirecting to a valid mailbox is not sufficient to keep the email out of the final "Catch-All" routing rule. Unfortunately, as negative look-aheads dont exist in RE2, it seems what I'm trying to achieve isn't possible (would love to be told otherwise)

I'm sorry I am not sure the proper wording to explain this issue.
I have constantly been receiving emails such as the one I attached (at the bottom). Altough I am able to block emails from "Order_Shipment", several email addresses remain sending messages to PennyV1#aol.com as well as PennyYA#aol.com, which is redirected to me. I could not find a way to block these two emails. I get several emails daily through them, and I would like it to stop.
Things I tried:
1 - Searched in the google settings, and couldn't find anywhere how to specifically block an email by typing the address.
2 - The three vertical dots on the left allows me to block the specific email from Order_Shipment, this does not solve the problem as the real problem is blokcing PennyV1 and PennyYA.
3 - Sent an email to PennyV1#aol.com as well as PennyYA#aol.com in the hope they would sent me an email back so I can block them. My message got bounced back saying these emails don't exist.
I do not know how my email entered this email grouplist
You could try blocking their domain:
Like clicking "Block Quora Digest" in my case.
Option two would be two create a filter: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6579?hl=en#zippy=%2Ccreate-a-filter
Any idea how to exclude sharebutton.to sharebutton.to keywords referral?
I tried to exclude it by Admin -> Filters - > New Filter - > Non-standard and putting campaign refferal but it`s still appearing in GA
Don't create simple exclude filters, or you will have to create a new one each time a spammer shows up.
Instead, create an Include filter with your valid hostnames, this will block all Google Analytics Spam of this type, no matter if it shows as a referral, keyword, page, etc.

I'm pulling email from a non-Gmail account into my Gmail inbox. Unfortunately, that account gets a lot of spam but Gmail correctly moves it to the "spam" pseudo-folder.
I'd like to know if there's a way to set up a filter with the equivalent of this query: "If message addressed to [my non-Gmail account address] AND in:spam" and then have the filter auto delete any matching messages.
I know I can manually view spam, select all, and delete, but I'd rather have a filter do it. That way, the only remaining spam is from my regular account, which I like to do a quick scan on before deleting in case there are any false positives.
Gmail's filtering either doesn't seem to allow for "in:spam" type qualifiers or won't auto-execute such a filter.
Any ideas?
Gmail warns you that the "is" operator will not match on incoming mail, but actually it works perfectly well at the moment. I use it in my filters, and so do other people (example: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/31042/how-can-i-auto-delete-some-spam-from-gmail).
Like we use recipient_delimiter in Post-fix such that if email address is "abc#host.com" then if we set "recipient_delimiter" to "+" (plus sign) in the /etc/post fix/main.cf file, now even if someone send an email on "abc+foo#host.com" or "abc+bar#host.com" then it will be delivered to the mailbox of "abc#host.com" only that is the plus sign and the content after the plus sign is ignored.
My problem is I want to achieve same in Q MAIL, can someone suggest me how to achieve that.
In qmail, these are called 'extension addresses'. Usually, the minus symbol is used as the delimiter instead of the plus symbol, but the functionality is the same as what you are describing, and it may be possible that the delimiter is configurable. See http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#extension-addresses for more info.
I use 'Atom' feeds to read the content of gmail at the address
https://mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom/name where name is either empty (to check the inbox) or a user-defined label (even nested). To parse the result, it is useful to read the XML field fullcount, which gives the number of unread messages. With Gmail internal labels, like starred, important, sent, trash, drafts, spam, all, however, the fullcount is always 0. I recently discovered here that for the important label one should use the less intuitive name ^iim. With ^iim the fullcount is set correctly ! Does anyone know if there is a complete list of such labels available ?
They are called system labels and the Gmail Content Provider in Android documents a few:
ALL_MAIL ^all
DRAFTS ^r
INBOX ^i
INBOX_CATEGORY_FORUMS ^sq_ig_i_group
INBOX_CATEGORY_PRIMARY ^sq_ig_i_personal
INBOX_CATEGORY_PROMOTIONS ^sq_ig_i_promo
INBOX_CATEGORY_SOCIAL ^sq_ig_i_social
INBOX_CATEGORY_UPDATES ^sq_ig_i_notification
PRIORITY_INBOX ^iim
SENT ^f
SPAM ^s
STARRED ^t
TRASH ^k
