How to exclude an email reply address in Collecting addresses

In a 3rd party gaming application I use (Second Life) I can receive offline instant messages to my email. I can reply to those offline emails in Thuderbird and the recipient receives my reply while they are in Second Life as an instant message. The reply-to email looks something like:

verylongstringofrandomishlettersandnumbers@im.agni.lindenlab.com and is usually only usable for a few days before it expires.

When I reply to my offline instant messages, via email, Thunderbird adds this to my Collected Addresses.

I love the Collected Address feature, but would like to exclude it from adding anything originating from @im.agni.lindenlab.com, since this is a temporary email address and only good for a temporary function.

Is there a way to do this? Thanks so much! Marshmallow

My view of Collected Addresses is that it's a sieve or net that catches stray email addresses and they should properly be sorted periodically and filed away in legitimate address books, with the aim of keeping Collected Addresses as empty as possible. So, on my computer, those temporary addresses would just be flushed away every now and again. ;-)
