consider splitting your rules up....

domain rules to filter attachments, kill DNSBL-tagged mail only.  This will let 
properly addressed mail that doesn't fail these
tests to correctly deliver to the intended recipient mailbox

then on your "junk" mailbox to which your nobody alias is pointed you can put in your 
delete rule, something like header contains
any character (.) delete if that's what you want...this mailbox will only catch the 
messages that were not properly addressed.

aliases are resolved to their final delivery mailboxes first, then domain rules are 
applied, then user rules are applied if they are
present for the final delivery mailbox.  If you're seeing mail slip past the domain 
rules, perhaps the rules need to be refined.
Catching attachements in the body is particularly tricky, and there have been numerous 
posts on how to structure them to be
effective using character counts etc.
