Trying to reduce this onslaught of junk mail that Mail indicates has "no sender" (although I didn't think that was possible, but spammers are a clever bunch of scum). Leaving the filed blank doesn't work obviously, nor does typing "(no sender)". Online help is not any.

Try
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
|---|---|---|
| From | Does not contain | @ |
A valid email address must contain a @ character, right?
Same logic applies to a . (dot) character if you want to try that. I have never seen an email address not in the form spam@foo.bar
Let me know if this works. I don't know how to send an email to myself with nothing in the "from" field so I can't test it. Not clever or scummy enough I suppose.

It worked - good suggestion - thank you ➕
I appreciate the follow-up, thanks!
Atlas Shrugged?
I've been in IT for 40 years and started as a programmer and consider myself pretty clever at coming up with ways around things. But I did not come up with this and I think it was really an exceptional and simple solution to a vexing problem. My hat is off to you for this solution! 🙂
You have to wonder why there isn't simply a condition called something like "is blank", or "is not set". There still isn't, 4 years after this question was asked.
