Wow - thanks for the detailed reply. All of that makes sense (especially the CSA part). I do understand I’m “winging it” a bit keying off this header and making folders. If I see that cryptic folders are getting created willy nilly I will certainly revert to the “old” way that I did in procmail for 20 years and explicitly match each list (or perhaps experiment with your from: domain suggestion).
