Use a better match rule. You are filtering on the wrong criteria,
namely the "to" headers. Using the standard "Sender:" header that the
mailing list software adds, you can write something similar to the
following procmail filter:
:0 H
* ^Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@freebsd.org
{
:0 H
* ^Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
freebsd.cvs.doc/
+ :0 H
+ * ^Sender: owner-cvs-\/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
+ freebsd.cvs.$MATCH/
:0 H
* ^Sender: owner-freebsd-\/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
freebsd.$MATCH/
:0 H
freebsd.misc/
}
The most important lines are marked with '+'. These match any message
sent by the mailing list software of FreeBSD.org, regardless of what the
user has put in their recipient list.

No. But you can trust the "Sender:" header.
