Try the NOT operator
Try using “bcc:ex@gmail.com” or “cc:ex1@gmail.com” in the “Has the words”-field

Btw, you could do no.4 (autoreply) by auto-forwarding the incoming gmail to an email address you run, and autoreplying to that one. I do this for one support oriented website but the mail is forwarded to a PHP program, which tracks incoming very diligently before sending auto-response.

Gmail sucks ass, the filters don’t even work, if they want to help with spam it should at least auto input the subject, this has a better chance then the from since the emails are not real emails they are fake and always changing What was google thinking ? Or smoking

FYI and for future web searchers, you can do 9 of these 10 things easily (I’ve never wanted to name a filter personally, since it’s more obvious what it is from what it is):
* filter on any folders, only incoming emails can be filtered
- Just click “apply to conversations below”
* exclude terms from From, To of Subject field.
-Simply enter terms in the “Doesn’t have” field
* filter on cc or bcc which are pretty standard fields
-Why would you want to filter cc without from or from without cc? If so just use the CC tag in the from field!
* filter on any non-standard header fields
-Have you tried? You might be surprised!
* filter based on attachments (presence) or their size, even GMail Search boasts of “Has Attachment” capability
-Just click “has attachment” (although not by size afaik)
* filter based on multiple criteria like say has x in subject or y in subject
-Just put X | Y or if you prefer (X OR Y)
* create complex queries of any form
-Actually, as complex as any logic with multiple terms using AND, OR or NOT!
* auto-reply based on filter match
-Just setup a filter forwarding to your autoreply address…
* mark as spam based on filter match
-You can filter to trash, in fact I’ve seen an online tip to do that with everything in the spam folder instead of saving it.
