Hello Bill,

Right, because you are looking for string "bill mccarthy" OR string
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and you get a match with any or both.

It is working as it should because the AND operation is done at string
level and you are now looking for the single string

    "bill [EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If you look for A&B you are actually looking for AB.

To get what you want you must have two entries in your rule main set.
The first one will look for string "bill mccarthy"  in Recipient AND for
string "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" also in Recipient (two different strings). If
rule 1 AND rule 2 get a match, the filters does whatever.
