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).
