Basically you could use the following:

header __CS_FROM_ME  From =~ /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/i
header __CS_TO_ME To =~ /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/i
meta CS_SPAM_TRICK __CS_FROM_ME && __CS_TO_ME
describe CS_SPAM_TRICK Spammer forged From + To my domain.
score CS_SPAM_TRICK 104.11 # Silly, isn't it?

(That's 2 underscores at the beginning of the rule name!)

That would work for a single person.

I could write one for _MY_ site wide use, as my internal mail stays
internal. Just by dropping the "dude@" part.  But I'm not sure it would work
for people without a gateway, who work off the server that scans.  For that
kind of situation, you might want to add a header key, or add some more meta
rules to make it work. 

I'm surprised this hasn't been made a standard rule in SA that is scored 0.
Then give users option to score it higher.
