The worse thing is with forwarding of non-geographic phone numbers...
(0345,etc, in the UK). We've had people ring us when they were trying to
get through to the tax office, ambulance service (not 999), etc, etc. It's
pretty much impossible to fix that. The dialer is calling the correct
publicised number, but the NGN is configured to redirect to us, instead of
the correct number. It seems like we're one of a pool of numbers, so if the
caller retries, they often get through to a correct person.
You try and get hold of the person whose job is to set up the phone
forwarding to tell them they've typed a number wrong!
You can't block it either, as the forwarding isn't signalled in any way.

Yup, I do have a way to filter. I just thought it was an interesting
problem that the recipient of a systematic forward is not able to stop the
forwarding of the mail.

Im talking if the address is present somewhere in the forwarded email.
That’s a fundamental difference, because if you know the address, you
cannot do so much to it, but if its present in the actual mail somehow
(header, etc) you can write a filter to dump the crap into the trash.

Yes I know the address @gmail the messages are being sent to. I do not
control that gmail inbox though.

Does the MAIL FROM (Sender header) contain the gmail address?
Does the MIME From contain the gmail address?
Check the headers if the gmail address is SOMEWHERE there.
Then you could put a rule to block such mails.

Ämne: [mailop] How do I break Gmail forwarding?
At some point someone set up a gmail address which forwards automatically
to our postmaster address. Yes I realize someone had to have clicked
something to allow this to happen (multiple people monitor the box). But I
cannot undo it. I do not control the original mailbox the mail is being
forwarded FROM.
Anyone have any tricks I'm missing?
