"Hide My Email" forwarding address cannot be directed via iCloud Server Rules

I'm trying to separate emails sent to manually created "Hide My Email" addresses (i.e. ones ending in @icloud.com) from my Apple ID iCloud email address (also ending in @icloud.com).

Currently when an email is sent to any of my Hide My Email addresses they'll hit my Inbox. I created a separate alias to redirect those emails to and created a rule in the iCloud Server Rules to move all emails from this alias to a folder titled "Hidden", however whenever an email is sent to a Hide My Email address it will still hit my Inbox and not the folder titled Hidden.

Is this expected behaviour?

Okay, for anyone wanting to achieve the desired effect I explained above, if you create a rule as follows it should work:

For whatever reason my trying to overcomplicate things didn't work and simply checking for the text "hide my email" will redirect those emails where I wanted them. Go figure.
