Hello REZK945,
> I want to create a filter rule which does the following:

I'm not familiar with gpg or pgp, etc., but I assume there must be
something unique to those messages. An specific header field, or textt
within the body.
Let's assume the uniqueness is -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- in
the body. You would need a filter with condition:
Text .does not contain. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
and with Action 'Send automatic reply'.
For my explanations below, lets call this filter 'GPG Filter'

My suggestion would be to NOT include exceptions in the same filter
with .AND NOT. conditions, but to set up a separate filter for each
exception. Much more clear and easier to manage. Your filter structure
should be:
Exception 1
Exception 2
...
GPG Filter
For this structure to work, nonre of the filter should have the
'Continue processing with other filters' option selected.

Yes, I thing using an AB Groups is a much better idea.
Exception 1 Filter
Address groups groupname contains sender

Exception 2 filter
Subject contains newsticker .OR. Sublect contains newsletter

This would be your 'Exception 3' filter, and you must look for
something unique in those messages. Perhaps the domain of the sender?.
If so:
Exception 3 filter
Header field From: contains @amazon.com
.OR.
Header field From: contains @ebay.com

Maybe with something like:
Recipient match RegExp
But I am not at all familiar with Regular Expressions to suggest one.
Sorry.

Just add a new filter before the GPG one.

Hope mine are of some help.
