Hi,
I would really like to create a filter that looks like this:

"If from Address does not match Return-Path then move to Junk Folder."

I can't find this capability in the message filter section and nothing
obvious to use in the add ons section.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Are you certain you want to use such a filter? Many newsletters and even
personal mail are sent with differing Reply-to's and From's. The fact
that there are differences in the Reply-to and From does not necessarily
indicate the message is spam.

You can filter on Reply-to, all you have to do is enter the header in
the relevant section of the filter (Custom)

I don't know of a means of comparing the From and the Reply-to though

You've replied to a three-and-a-half year old post. 18 May 2009.

I suppose this is for Email and not News, as I don't see a "Return-path"
in News posts. Open Message Filters and add a "Customize" filter, using
"Return-path". If you don't know how to do that, ask.

But did you read the other reply?
