What's the process for sendmail?  That might actually be what I am
looking for instead.

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.

My point is that at the MTA _virtusertable_ or _access_ database, you could 
simply set up an error for those addresses known to be mailing list addresses.

I'm familiar with the process for sendmail, but there should be parallels 
for other MTAs.

in virtusertable:

somelist(_at_)server1(_dot_)domain(_dot_)tld  ERROR:5.5.0:550 This list has 
moved.  Please 
visit www.domain.tld/somepage for more information


or, access:

TO:somelist(_at_)server1(_dot_)domain(_dot_)tld     550 " This list has 
moved.  Please visit 
<http://www.domain.tld/somepage> for more information."
