This is one of the techniques that the SpamDunk ruleset uses.
The problem is that mailing lists meet this criteria, and I
do not want to have to manage a list of my subscribed lists.
This changes frequently.
Actually, every recipe of SpamDunk assumes that an email is
not from a list (I'm the author, so I should know<g>). The
problem I have with mailing lists is that there don't seem to
be rules that apply to every list. The Procmail list
headers scream "list"...

...whereas other lists simply have multiple "Received:"
headers from three different domains, just like a relay-spam.
On the other hand, if there was a set of rules that every
list followed, spammers would use them too. There was one
outfit that sent spam "From: majordomo(_at_)hk(_dot_)super(_dot_)net".
If your ISP supports plussed addresses, you might try
subscribing to lists with a plussed address, and have
procmail divert all email with plussed addresses past your
regular filters.
