Filter based on "^Precedence: Bulk".  I'm pretty sure that most (all?)
listservers add that header.

The procmail list does not:

Precedence: list

Other mailing lists do not use the Precedence: header at all.

The best way is to filter mailing lists first, and then send all others to a  
different mailbox which you check occasionally.

See what ends up in there.

Not a solution.  :(  Aside from being subbed to *MANY* lists, many of them
do not require conformation.  Just a few hundred messages before I got the
filters written for her.  Fortunately, procmail can filter whats in the
inbox.  :)
