What do you mean? The from part of a Received: line merely tells you
what the sending host told the receiving host it should believe the
sending host's name to be -- if somebody tries to impersonate
Earthlink there, it's not very hard, but they should also suit
themselves if the mail never arrives (IMHO)

For the record, I block stuff with Earthlink in the Received: line but
I merely sort it to a different folder so I can complain when I have
the time. 

I guess that's where I'm still missing it.  Then, if I understand you
correctly, *this* should work?

   * ^Received:(_dot_)*(_at_)earthlink\(_dot_)net
   /dev/null

???

Tnx,
