Can the null address be specified in a ruleset?

Hi Julian
I have a user who is receiving numerous erroneous bounces of "cleaned"
viruses from a large local ISP. The viruses are spoofing her address.
The envelope sender address according to the log file is the null address
<>, although when received by the user it has the envelope address
MAILER-DAEMON at mango.zw that is added by our own system (mango.zw) after
receipt. I have tried the following in spam.blacklist.rules:
From: <> and To: user at mango.zw yes
and
From: MAILER-DAEMON at mango.zw and To: user at mango.zw yes
but, not surprisingly, neither of these work. Can you suggest any way to
make such a rule work? Or would it need to be a new feature? I do think
it would be very useful to be able to use <> if it cannot be done at the
moment.
I am not using SpamAssassin (don't have enough horsepower) so cannot use
that. And I don't want to block other mail from the major local ISP that
is sending this junk.
For the moment I will just try getting them on the phone once more . . .
