Stupid Gmail filters, why doesn't this work?

[csdude55]

I'm so frustrated with Gmail filters :-/ Did you know there's a character limit? Which means I have 28 filters, with half of them having the same exclusion list!

But anyway.

I'm currently dealing with one that looks like this:

(-from:(cpanel@ OR webmasterworld.com) (-from:foo subject:bar)) (unsubscribe OR "Click here to opt out")

Some of those ( ) might be unnecessary, I stuck some of them in trying to make it work. But it's still not working.

My THOUGHT is this:

If the email is not from "cpanel@", and it's not from "webmasterworld.com", and if the subject contains "bar" but isn't from "foo", and the body contains "unsubscribe" or "Click here to opt out", then do this.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

I feel confusion. Usually filters are within your email client so it depends on what email client you use. Do you have filters set up that function on their site?

I don't use an email client, just the Gmail website. It became way too much of a pain to sync my phone, tablet, and computer, so I specifically use filters set up at Gmail.com.

I haven't ever looked there. It could be that they want something like "Click+here+to+opt+out"? I would think if they offer filters they should explain them somewhere.

OK, maybe this explains it: [support.google.com...]
