 Personally, I filter list traffic on the To: line, since all list traffic
 is to one and only one e-mail address, this works 100%.

 For me, the chain is multiple stage filtering.
 First, it hits spam-o-matic, which discards something like 99.87%
 of all traffic as spam. Yeah, 10K or so have gotten through out of
 a million or so total, and three have been mistakenly tagged
 spam falsely.
 What's left is further filtered by list, or what could be a list.
 All traffic from certain clients is filtered into respective client
 mailbox "folders."
 Almost none makes it to the catch-all folder.
 Managing a large volume of mail traffic is pretty much a snap
 this way. Don't know how I could possibly manage without
 proper filtering.
