Hello Guys ,
I make a lot of use with "What Object" option to check different field on the header section to avoid spam.
I been more then happy to see that in the current release (7.2-2) these feature got more attention then before.
BUT in my testing I could tell the at list the header field "Return-Path" is not been check / not been check properly
Please see the above the setting

here is the message log :

The Return-Path field is usually set to the envelope from address - you can use a Who Object to match for envelop addresses
 
As you say , usually , but the hacker do not know that ,
To my best knowladge ,in Proxmox Smg release note they say that all of the header field are searchable now.
the "From" field is very easy to fake.
 
not sure I understand your comment

The Return-Path header contains the _envelope_ from address - this is _not_ the address in the from header:
see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounce_address

If you want to match on what you see as 'Return-Path' create a Who Object with a regex inside

I hope this explains it!
