delete e-mails coming from address not in Contacts

I wish that all e-mails coming from an address NOT in Contacts list, are automatically deleted (moved to Bin). (I use Mac Mail and Mac Contacts)

Is it possible?

Thanks

There is an option for that when you create a Rule.

I would not put them in the Trash, but rather designate a specific mailbox for it;

Sorry I don't know the answer to your specific question but I will comment anyway. Please feel free to disregard my comment.

What you are describing is a "whitelist" filter. This is not a very good way to manage your email or security. What if one of your contacts changes their contact information and sends an email from their new account? What if you receive a legitimate email from an organization/acquaintance not on your "whitelist"/contacts?
