An addendum to my prior post:

The to and to-file filter rules do not apply to list serve addresses by the
time they get to you.  By the time you receive the email it's no longer to
the listserve, but to you yourself.  If you really wanted to use a to or
to-file rule, you would first need to subscribe to the listserve with a
unique address such as a pseudo keyword address such as
[EMAIL PROTECTED] then the following rule would work:

to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ok

This can be made more generic by substituting the pseudokey with a
pseudokey-value pair such as list-listname or web-sitename when subscribing
and pairing them with rules like these:

to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ok
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ok

Or a pseudokey file and a to-file rule:

to-file ~/.tmda/lists/pseudokey-revoked drop
to-file ~/.tmda/lists/pseudokey ok

And pseudokey would contain entries like:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

While pseudokey-revoked would contain specific addresses that you have
chosen to revoke for what ever reason:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
