Why not just base your filter on Sender? This is what I use to filter this
list, seems to work fine for me.

## Procmail-L ---------------------------------------
:0
* ^Sender(_dot_)*procmail-admin(_at_)lists\(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen\(_dot_)DE
$MAILDIR/Lists/procmail-l
##---------------------------------------------------

Are those backslashed before the period necessary? I have the following,
and it works fine for me:

:0
* ^Sender:(_dot_)*procmail-admin(_at_)Lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE
procmail

The backslashes escape the ".", which will match ANY character.  Your
recipe will therefore match

Sender: procmail-admin(_at_)ListsXRWTH-AachenYDE

as well as

Sender: procmail-admin(_at_)Lists(_dot_)RWTH-Aachen(_dot_)DE

If you ONLY want to match the latter one, you need to escape the ".".
Not much of a difference in this case, but just so you don't get
confused when you want to match a "." (and not just ANY character) in
another situation.
