Filter: Require all recipients to be in an address book

I use Thunderbird 45.2.0 and an IMAP account. I would like to create a filter that checks whether the sender is in a specific address book and all recipients are in a (different) specific address book. Unfortunately Thunderbird seems to only check whether any recipient is in the specified address book. Is this the expected result? Can the described filter method be achieved?

Also: Is there are way (perhaps an add-on?) to use logical expressions (and/or/not) to combine filter rules?

A good help is FiltaQuilla With that you have options like is not in my address-book A + is not in my address-book B + .....C Add sender to address-book C

Look at msgFilterRules.dat under an account in your profile-directory and you see that filters are written as logical (and, or, not)

name="any of" enabled="no" type="17" action="Mark unread" condition="OR (subject,contains,me) OR (subject,contains,you)"

name="and-or-not" enabled="no" type="17" action="Mark unread" condition="AND (subject,begins with,new) AND (subject,doesn't contain,old) AND (subject,ends with,me)"
