It looks like you have some pretty  good stuff there. I'll take a look
and see what I can use here. I'd like to avoid simply greenlisting the
mailing lists,  because as  you have probably  noticed, spam  can come
thru the lists too.

I filter for twits straight off. People I don't care to hear from one way or another. These include addresses and wildcards which may also be spam.

I then filter for "clean" sources - known clean mailing lists (either outbound-only, moderated, or otherwise safe lists), whitelists, etc.

Then I filter aggressivey for spam.

Then I filter regular mailing lists and other content.

Both my twit and spam rulesets are wrapped in a "notwit" or "nospam" wrapper that allows for injecting exceptions (basically, selective whitelisting, but it may be more broad, such as a mailing list). If I find I need to filter through my spam or twits files to manually recover messages (with a small procmail rule), I can add a header that bypasses these filters (if I just want to pull a single message out versus adding that source to an exception list).
