Use procmail. A good rule to start is
# ~/.procmailrc
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/inbox
LOGFILE=$HOME/log/procmail.log
:0:
* ^TOmutt-users
inbox.mutt-users
:0
* ^X-Mailing-List: .*\/[a-z0-9][^ ]*@
{
LIST=`echo $MATCH | sed 's/@.*//;s/-list$//'`
:0
inbox.$LIST
}
This saves each mail coming from mailbox foo to inbox.foo. Note that
not all mailing list generate the X-Mailing-List header, therefore the
special rule for mutt-users.
