"From"->"is not in address book", at least in the latest version.

A little trickier to avoid false positives, but perhaps something like:
"Match all of the following":
"To" does not contain "me at mydomain.com"
"To" does not contain "me2 at myotherdomain.com"
"Cc" does not contain "..."
"Cc" ...

You could create a category in your address book containing all these
addresses, and use "From" "is in category". Alternatively you could just
use a bunch of "From" "contains" <unwanted address> type filters.

To be honest, once you get to this level, I think you're probably better off
customizing something like spamassassin, that's designed for spam
filtering, though.
