You can set that folder to auto-discard after a month if you wish. Here is an example rule using the current Fastmail web interface:
  • Settings>Rules
  • New Rule
  • Change the condition to one of these:
    • The message is not from a contact
    • The message is not from a member of group (select a group)
  • Action: Move to: "Unknown sender" (or some other folder you have created to hold such messages)
  • Save

You can have more than one Condition. So you could also apply one, or both, of the conditions that Bill mentions, as well as adding a condition that specifies that alias. I believe you can have only one Action, though I could be wrong..
