An (approximate) solution with not too much coding would be to use a

I use MHonArc with procmail and considered to do that but didn't know
how (not an experienced UNIX user). Could you give a hint how a
procmail recipe achieving this could look like?
Here is what I use in .procmailrc to archive the mhonarc list:
NEWDATE="`/usr/bin/date +%Y-%m`"
MHONARC_MBOX="/local/mail/lists/mhonarc/$NEWDATE.mbox"
:0: $MHONARC_MBOX$LOCKEXT
* ^Sender:.*owner-mhonarc@
{
:0 c
$MHONARC_MBOX
:0 c
| /local/mail/mhonarc-1.2.2/mailarchive -add mhonarc "$NEWDATE"
}
Mailarchive is nothing more than a wrapper around mhonarc with my long.
list of options.

P.S. Procmail itself comes with an example manual page. It's worth
looking into it.
