Alert HN: Check your gmail auto-forwards, mine have been broken for a month.

Last year I had a problem where emails marked as "Spam" in Gmail were not being forwarded to my main inbox.

Someone had the same problem and submitted it to Hacker News:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4621571

In that topic, rather than use Forwarding, someone suggested a negative Filter. If an email does not contain a random set of charters, filter it out and forward it.

I've been using, also suggested in that topic:

    -{"X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*"}

On or around Febuary 22nd, 2013, these filters stopped working. I have not received (in my main inbox) any emails from the alias gmail accounts. They've been sitting in the secondary inbox.

This is occurring in at least two forwarding gmail accounts, both starting around Feb 22. I did not touch the Filter or Forwarding settings of either.

This is extremely frustrating, as I missed several very important emails.

Has anyone else had this problem? If you're using Filters I encourage you to check your secondary gmail inboxes.
