Filter from users using Exchange - no headers

Here's the skinny

Outlook client receiving email from an Exchange server. User wants to
filter the email so that any mail from a particular group of users
goes into a folder. This is easy enough with email that originates
outside of Exchange since then it has normal SMTP headers. User simply
sets up filter based on these headers ( file anything with "from" that
contains "mydomain.com" for instance ).

However email sent from another user on the same exchange server
doesn't have these headers ( opening the message and looking
at options shows blank header area ). This makes sense I suppose
since the email never saw SMTP.

But now how can the filtering be done? I can add individual users
but that gets very cumbersome-- want to add a group based
on wildcards or the like.

How can this be done?

thanks

Version of Outlook? Depending on the version, you can assign individual
users to categories and use a category rule to filter the messages.

I don't think you can do it by a group - but you can do all exchange users.
Create a rule that looks for @ in the address and set an exception - rule
can read like "check all mail, move to folder except if from contains @."

The idea was to avoid having to manage a group but instead filter
by domain ( email return address fitting a specific pattern )
but since outlook>exchange>outlook apparently doesn't create
any headers this would appear to be problematic.

But thanks for the hint
