Gmail spam filter not working

emailgmailgmail-labelsspam-prevention

I recently started receiving spam emails in my Gmail inbox. They all seem to be addressed to john@aol.com. To combat this I tried to set up a filter:

Matches: to:(john@aol.com)
Do this: Delete it

When I test the filter with a search, it finds the emails correctly. But they still get through on incoming emails. What can I do?

Best Answer

Please use the following filter condition instead

to:(john@aol.com)
