Make a rule to ALLOW your NewsGroup messages and BLOCK the rest
with your address as both sender and receiver.

That's a good idea, but a little cumbersome, since i subscribe to more than
fifty email lists. Granted, not all of them return with the address of the
originator as sender. But even so, it seems like a significant hassle for
some of us to accomplish.

I don't know, i've never experimented with email rules. But i'm thinking i'd
have to specifically allow each email list.

Since this spoofed spam seems like a relatively new trick, i expect we'll
all see more and more of it.

Seems to me email clients ought to have a simpler method of dealing with
such a problem. Is it impossible to block email messages by analyzing the
headers, and maybe isolating an originating IP address? It seems to me that
would be a more elegant solution, if it is possible given the email header
protocol. (I'm not an expert in such matters...)
