Thanks for the reply. In addition to list traffic, there is other valid mail
being sent to the server1 address. The Mailman program on server1 has been
shut down, but other mail is still handled by the server1 MTA. Until we
shutdown the server1 machine, I need to distinguish between list traffic and
other mail. That is why I though of using Procmail.

Use the MTA to simply bounce a concise message (or URL) in response to
messages addressed to the now invalid address. No real need to involve
procmail, because at that point, you've actually accepted the message - if
you bounce at the MTA, it'll occur during the recupient addressing phase,
before the body of the message has been passed to your server.
>Since there is other/non-list mail being sent to

This is why I use a "lists.domain.tld" setup on my own servers. <g>
