I'd not reject such messages, it is not illegal to see ones own address
in some From: header line. Your secretary might send such messages in
your name (but with sender: set to her address).

Looks "write only" to me. But you could enforce correct header lines for
your incoming mails:

    require verify = header_syntax
            verify = header_sender


… before you apply your above condition.
(Check the relevant spec parts to be sure :))
