I've read a bit about setting up filtering in procmail, but I still
don't see how to resolve my situation. If I were to setup procmail,
how would I know where mail has gone? After a weekend I typically
will have about 1000 messages waiting to be included (I use MH).

I use gnus (an emacs module) and it works great! :-) I put mailing
list messages into their own spool files (~/Mail/spool/xxx) and have
gnus suck them in from there. gnus then tells me "you have 7 new
messages in xxx, 13 in yyy, 235 in zzz."
At the risk of drifting off topic I would like to second
David's comment.
Gnus is great. The fact that is originally a news reader
means that it is (IMHO) ideally suited for reading mailing
lists (or mail that you have otherwise sorted by topic).
"Gnus basically considers mail just to be news that has been
received in a rather peculiar manner".
I must confess that I initially thought this was a strange way
to approach reading mail, but once I had used gnus for a few
days I was hooked.
I should mention that gnus supports several backends for
reading mail. One of the backends uses the MH format which
should make it relatively painless to try out gnus if you
should want to. Unfortunately, I don't use MH so I can't say
for certain.
And now back to your regularly scheduled topic ...
