So, Dmitry, can we get the spamtrap to function on From addresses too?

This one had a Return-Path:  and  an X-Apparently-From: as well, 
though those happened to not be spamtraps on my system this time. 
Can the spamtrap be made to function on *any* header lines that 
contain a designated spamtrap address?
