I have a similar problem.  I already filter (with a Kmail filter) the 
output of various newsgroups so that I can exempt them from any 
policy that blocks my addresses.  I can also install a Kmail filter 
at the bottom of the stack that blocks email from any of my 
addresses, or else routes them into a special folder. But a simple 
match comparison would work better. Perhaps I will do that at the 
bottom of my stack of  Kmail filters, sending such mail to a special 
folder as I do now for html bearing code.
