Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but I think using a pattern match like "From
pattern = @foo.host.com" would do what is being asked. That will match
mails coming from "Annoying [email protected]" as well as "
[email protected]".

Ferdinand, to see the built in help for this:
* M S R F  # main setup rules filter
* Go down to the "To pattern" field and press "?" to get the help page.

Hope that helps,
