Here is my ugly, yet pretty effective solution.  This is for a moderated 
list.  I looked at the -u option only allowing members to post, but 
there seems to be a collision between the -u and -m (moderate) behaviors 
so I modified the list/editor file.

|/var/qmail/bin/bouncesaying '5813 rejected' /var/qmail/bin/except 
/bin/grep -qE '^From: .*@domain.com.*'
|/var/qmail/bin/bouncesaying '5813 rejected' /var/qmail/bin/except 
/bin/grep -qE '^Return-Path: .*@domain.com.*'

These are not the best ways of accomplishing the filtering and are 
subject to the following bugs:

1. grep will get confused if the email is a different encoding
    (courtesy of Rick van der Zwet)
2. If the From: or Return-Path: items appear anywhere in the
    body of the message and match the regex, the message will
    bounce.

I'm sure there are other problems with the above as well, but they work 
for me and might work for you.
