Add a condition:

[Source > Server > User] [Does Not Contain] [Username of Source]

If that isn't specific enough, add another:

[Source > Server > Domain] [Does Not Contain] [Domain of Source]

As Robert says, "All Messages" is special, in that it is implicitly 
referenced by the unified standard mailboxes such as "Junk," "Draft," 
"Deleted Messages," and "Inbox." So if you exclude messages from "All 
Messages," you exclude them from those smart mailboxes as well.

The alternative to changing "All Messages" is to create a derivative 
mailbox using messages from "All Messages" and excluding sources in the 
"Mailboxes" section. In the specific case shown in the attached screen 
grab, I have a static source of ancient mail named "Emailchemy Import" 
(after the tool used to convert 20+ years of Eudora mailboxes) which I 
usually do not want to include in searches.
