Filtering out email by sender can be complicated, what at first looks like a simple process of adding the senders From address in the filter can actually be far more complicated, in an email hosted solution.

Here is a real world example:

Received: from pmta1.delivery7.ore.mailhop.org (54.186.27.61) by
CLU-EXCH.customer.local (10.0.25.213) with Microsoft SMTP Server id 14.3.174.1;

Received: from customer.com (unknown [104.219.12.197]) by

Received: from customer by server1.sleekhost.ca with local (Exim 4.85)
(envelope-from clazyuco@server1.sleekhost.ca) id 1YuSNx-0001qw-Qf for
leads@customer.com; Mon, 18 May 2015 17:15:41 -0400

From: C Lazy U Website - customerwebforms@gmail.com
Message-ID: e0b8e143d7434794e64067a148de10d0@www.customer.com
er-Via: server1.sleekhost.ca: authenticated_id: customer/only user confirmed/virtual account not confirmed

(/e0b8e143d7434794e64067a148de10d0@www.customer.com)leads@customer.com

The important part to look at here is even though the From: C Lazy U Website - customerwebforms@gmail.com indicates one thing, the headers say something completely different. 

(envelope-from clazyuco@server1.sleekhost.ca) id 1YuSNx-0001qw-Qf for leads@customer.com; 

The correct address to filter is the envelope-from ID if filtering the From address does not work.
