Add information that retries could account for event not filtered by Destination Filter
Customer are confused that sometimes they are still seeing events flowing through after adding Destination Filter. Added the following faq to indicate that retries could account for these events not filtered by Destination Filter "Why do I see events being sent through after I just added a destination filter? If Event Delivery page shows events have been retried, the retries could account for events that did not get filtered when the Destination Filter is just added. Such scenario can occur when an event was sent to the destination and encountered timeout error, and retries for the events are attempted. While the retries are attempted, and a Destination Filter is then added, these retries will not subject to the filtering since these are from the events sent before the Destination Filter is added."

#### Can I use destination filters to drop events unsupported by a destination?

The check for unsupported events types happens before any destination filter checks. As a result, Destination Filters can't prevent unsupported event type errors. To filter these events, use the [Integrations Object](/docs/guides/filtering-data/#filtering-with-the-integrations-object).
