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.
True, but most do. Precedence: list and bulk seem the most common, but
you could throw in "junk" as well, for good measure (or if you're in
an experimental mood, treat with superstition anything with a
Precedence: header).
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. :)
How does that matter at all? Just put them in /tmp instead of
somewhere important. It is +never+ a good idea to blindly throw away
stuff, and especially when you're in the middle of a mailstorm, there
can be unexpected messages you +really+ don't want to miss.

Whoa. More and more reason to assume all mail from Netcom is spam.
