I've found it handy to grep a file of list mail addresses. Then you can
just add new lists to the address file (gives a little less clutter in
the .procmailrc):
HEADERTAG=From
ADDRESSFILE=/usr/home/bhoover/listreply
FORMAIL=formail
:0i
HEADERTAGVAL=|$FORMAIL -zx$HEADERTAG | tr -d "\n" | tr -s " "
* ? grep -i $HEADERTAGVAL $ADDRESSFILE
{
ISMAILINGLIST=yes
}
Of course, you can set HEADERTAG to the tag of your choice.

That's why my soul always reverts to the Old Testament and to
Shakespeare. There at least one feels that it's human beings talking.
There people hate, people love, people murder their enemy and curse his
descendants through all generations, there people sin. - (Soren
Kierkegaard - Either/Or)
