Many spam messages contain a characteristic in which the sender and the recipient are the same.  Currently there is no way to configure a compliance policy to react to this.  It would be nice to have the ability to toggle an advanced setting in which sender=recipient.

although Premium Antispam

although Premium Antispam should block a spam message no matter who the sender or receiver are, it is best practices to blacklist your own domain name so spammers cannot do what you have described. There is no reason a legimitmate incoming mail would come in where the From: field is an address in your domain.
