For mailing lists, this is the wrong approach. We include a header (list-id)
specifically for this purpose. Your filtering approach fails if someone BCCs
the list. Filtering on List-ID succeeds no matter what.
There is, in fact, a FAQ item on www.lists.apple.com on message filtering
explaining the details.
