"Stop after match" - purpose of the option?

[andy17d]

What is the purpose of the option "Stop after match" in PostMaster Filter?

The filter is final if selected, otherwise other matching filters may still be applied

[EXG133]

All filters are checked alphabetically like you see them on the postmaster filter page:

Filter A sets a ticket to Type "Change Request" if the mail was sent from changes@example.com
Filter B sets a ticket to Type "Incident" if a mail is sent from any address from the @example.com domain

Now we receive a mail from changes@example.com.
If you selected 'Stop after match' "YES" it will not check filter B so the result is type "Change Request".
Otherwise with 'Stop after match' set to "NO" it will also check B and the type will be "Incident" because X-OTRS-Type will be overwritten by the second filter.

So you have to be real careful about the order of your filters and about that 'Stop after match' option.
