Are you trying to block spammers with this? Because that won’t work. The spammers change addresses and message formats for each spam campaign. Messages change run-to-run. If it were trivial to block spam, we won’t have this mess. Use the Apple junk mail filtering, or (as I do) SpamSieve, as these tools use statistics to differentiate the particular mail you get, and the spam you get.
