Here's how I told procmail to pick off mail sent to me through this
list:

* ^Sender:.*owner-classiccmp_at_classiccmp\.org

Maybe that will help you come up with a somewhat less intrusive filter
that works for you.

BTW, the [classiccmp] thing was tried, hated (I told my mail reader to
strip the tag from the displayed subjects so I wouldn't have to look
at it; other people squawked), and turned off.
