Try marking this as Junk, then check in the Junk Mail folder from time-to-time for the "copies to self" emails, and mark them as "not Junk" until it learns.
On the other hand, I don't expect you will get another junk mail with this exact setup, so you could just ignore this one and Trash it.

I do use the Junk filter and Rules on all my e-mail boxes with good success, I just didn't think setting myself in the Rules or Junk was the way to go, but I suppose it's worth a shot. Would it be worthwhile to use "Perform custom actions?" and then use the Advanced feature? To me, that just looks like another place to add "Rules"

I wonder if it is possible I could have something like this intercepted or blocked there, before it comes to Mail?
