Spoofed mail from my own address not being caught by filter...

Hey there all

I'm using procmail as a general filter with spambounce scripts.  I have 
freemails not being filtered because all my friends/family use those types of 
services and because I have an account in hotmail myself.  Regularly my mail 
machine logs into hotmail and downloads all my messages and runs it through 
procmail before getting to my local imap inbox, lately I've been noticing mails 
that were sent to my hotmail account with my local e-mail address as the 
reply-to/from fields!  Naturally, this slips through procmail's filters because 
its in the .myemail file (or whatever).  How in the world would I catch 
something like this???  The only thing I can think of is if it grabbed the 
recieved-from server, if it matched a hotmail server and it was going to my 
local address then it would be dropped...but I don't know how to do this.  Any 
ideas?

To clarify, I run a mail server at home with procmail and local e-mail 
accounts.  I also have a hotmail account, since I had opened it before I ran my 
own server and more people have that address.  Every 5 minutes my mail server 
(actually cron script) logs into hotmail and relays the mail through my server 
to my mailbox and junkmail folders.  Mails I get from hotmail have my own email 
address from my home server in the from field.  For some reason I have a 
feeling this is still confusing, oh well.

TIA
