How can I block emails with no sender?

So it looks like a new email spam technique has developed. The email is send without a sending email address. When one of these emails is received by the Apple Mail app (Big Sur 11.6.5 on my imac), the "From" column displays (no sender). This thread on the Apple Community line How can I block emails from “no sender?” - Apple Community

provides absolutely no help. The Apple Reply appears to be from a AI bot that does not have human supervision. Given that the above link provides no help whatsoever, I thought it a good idea to ask again. Seems hard to believe that the Apple Mail app cannot screen these new spammers. Or perhaps later versions of macOS have solved the problem? My iMac is too old for an upgrade to a more recent macOS.

Set up a rule "From", "does not contain", "@", "delete". Worked for me.
