Hello,

I use the router to filter messages using the Return-Path, but suddenly I'm
getting messages (supposedly from Postmasters and MAILER-DAEMONs but clearly
SPAM) where the first line is:

Return-Path: <>

What can I enter to block such messages?
Don't even try.

All messages generated by MTA's should have a null sender like that. Bounces, return reciepts, etc. all have an empty return-path by design. If you reject mail that has an empty return-path you will be rejecting some spam but you will reliably reject all error messages as well.
