Simple Outlook rules not working

I am currently using Outlook 2007 but I have had this problem with several
versions of Outlook. I am currently reworking all my rules so I only have a
few of them currently set up. However, I have run into a few odd problems.
One being I have a rule set up to to be:

"Apply this rule after the message arrives
with (e-mail address removed) in the sender's address
move it to the Other folder"

I am trying to Run it on my inbox and it is refusing to work. I have a
couple of other rules set up exactly the same and they work. I have also
verified that the email is set up exactly as it is in the rule. I have also
tried "First Last", "First.Last", and "First_Last" and none of those work
either.

The other problem I am running into is:

"Apply this rule after the message arrives
with Lastname1 or Lastname2 or Lastname3 in the sender's address
move it to the Another folder"

No matter how I rearrange the 3 Last names, the Lastname2 never goes to the
correct folder but the other 2 do. I have even set up Lastname2 as its own
rule and it still doesnt work. It's a very unique last name and I am
spelling it right.

Also, both rules have the checkbox checked.

Is this a bug within Outlook? If not, how do I get these rules to work?

Thanks in advance.
