There is a much batter way to filter. Look for the header:
Resent-From: ldp-discuss@lists.debian.org
In a procmail filter this would be:
#
# .procmailrc
#
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin
SHELL=/bin/sh
LOCKTIMEOUT=60
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail.log
SENDMAIL=/usr/lib/sendmail
:0
* ^Resent-From: ldp-(spec|discuss)@lists.debian.org
IN.LDP
#
# EOF
#
<rant>
Mail systems that don't offer you this sort of sorting are loosers. I
wouldn't use outlook for mailinglists. It just takes too much time to read
compared to a text based mailreader like pine.
