I am assuming that every legit message from the procmail ist has the X-Loop
header.  Correct?

Yes.

* !^TOprocmail(_at_)informatik\(_dot_)rwth-aachen\(_dot_)de

And the procmail ist server puts the procmail address inthe to: header line.
 So then if the procmail address is *not* in the to: or cc: lines it is
rejected.  Correct?

Yes, except...

It is the sender who puts the list name in the To|Cc: fields.  Spammers
prefer to put it elsewhere.
