Nice. That is very compact.
I dropped procmail years ago too, and my filer rules for eg the mutt
lists look like this:
mutt Mutt-Dev sender:owner-mutt-...@mutt.org
mutt Mutt-Dev sender:mutt-dev-boun...@mutt.org
mutt Mutt-Users mutt-users@mutt.org
mutt Mutt-Users mutt-users@mutt.org@korn.aiss.de
mutt Mutt-Users mutt-us...@gbnet.net
mutt Mutt-Users sender:owner-mutt-us...@mutt.org
mutt offline-imap offlineimap-proj...@lists.alioth.debian.org
mutt offline-imap offlineimap-proj...@alioth-lists.debian.net
mutt offline-imap
sender:offlineimap-project-bounces+cs=cskk.id...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Column 1 is the mail folder name. Column 2 is for the X-Label ('.' to
not apply one). Column 3 is the rule. Absent a header name it matches
the to/cc/bcc on the "address" part (the bit between the <> after a
parse).
