Nope, AFAIK there is no way to filter on local addresses with built-in

However, there was a thread about this IIRC some months ago. Cliff Wells
and HvR came up with a Python script, that maybe does what you want.

Two mails in the archives with the scripts:

The entire thread may be useful to you too.
