I only want to accpet email from two addresses, the rest I want to delete immediately, unseen.

I know how to make fileers and I can whitelist those two addresses.

If I make 3 filter, in this order;

1) from [email protected] move to inbox, never mark as spam
2) from [email protected] move to inbox, never mark as spam
3) from *@*.* delete immediately, never move to trash

can I be guaranteed that that will do what I want?

For instance, can I be sure that the filters are executed in that order? I dont want to lose amy mail from those two adresses.
