It is better to look at the mailing list tags instead.  The better
configured mailing lists don't put tags in the subject lines and don't
set reply-to to the list (ignore my trolling) and so you need to grip
upon something else.  Here is a start at a common set of list tags
which I think would be more suitable for this task.

:0fw:spamassassin.lock
* !^X-BeenThere:
* !^X-Mailing-List:
* !^Mailing-List:
* !^List-Help:
| spamc

Note that mailing lists are a large of of my spam.  So leaving those
unfiltered would be opening up the flood gates.  If all a spammer
needs to do to get through your spam filter is to put satalk in the
subject then they will put satalk in the subject and slip right
through your filters.  Better to filter everything.
