Sadly, that's not going to work too well for me; for a period at my last
job I regularly sent and received mail, aside from a .de with Reply-To
account, another .com.de, a .com.au, a .net and a .org account. :)
It's an AI-complete problem, trying to work out which accounts are and
are not yours. If you /really/ wanted, though, you could write a custom
rule that looked for your accounts and score down something claiming to
be from you without them...
