Yay for procmail, I filter by the Comments tag for CLUG, and the Sender for the adsl lists, as Nick pointed out some people use @it.canterbury.ac.nz and others user @canterbury.ac.nz for the list address, and for the adsl lists some people use @lists.unixathome.org and others just use @unixathome.org Seeing as you're using Outlook *shudder*, you can probably add a filter for "Header contains Canterbury Linux Users Group" which should be unique enough and not catch the personal replies. The way I used to do it years ago was with a separate email account for the CLUG list because I never knew better :) Sample .procmailrc follows...
