Instead of special case rules for each mailing list I'm subscribed to I'd like to know if there's anything that attempts to do what Mail::ListDetector does in that it has to obtain the list name from the email message and then use that as the mailbox name to archive the mail to.

Please search the procmail list archives (see the procmail website for a link to the chief archive site with search facility). There's one or two such recipes which have been posted here this year alone.

A thread with the subject "generic matching for mailing lists..." presents one such method.

Keep in mind that some crappy bcc: distribution lists pretending to be "real" lists will not be detected, since they don't provide the standard types of headers found on list mail.
