Or both :-)

Just a thought: Do you have any other filters in play, and do any of
them have the rule "Stop Processing" anywhere?

This might explain why only one message is filtered (perhaps "stop
processing" stops all filtering for all messages, not just the message
selected), and even why the message isn't deleted, if somehow it stops
all processing of the message, even a delayed "delete" command.

I haven't actually tried a filter with "Stop Processing" as an action,
but it seems from your logs that you have one enabled, and it may be
that this simply doesn't work as expected, and not too many people have
used it.

If you have a "stop processing"-filter, could you try removing it and
see if it makes a difference?
