Nope, that won't work for KCLUG mail. The "To:" field will not always, in fact hardly ever, have the proper recipient of the email. Hence, Matt's dilemma. You have to look at the crazy headers for KCLUG. I'd say he needs both of the approaches you stated. One filter by list and to by "To:". That *should* get most if not all filtered into his appropriate mailboxes. Now, I have to go to my server and play with some of these rules. ;')

This is nearly what I'm looking to do. What I really want
to do, is..
_Anything_ that comes to linux@bizniche.com goes in one
folder, doesn't
matter if it was sent to the address directly, or to a list
like kclug.
_Anything_ that comes to matt@bizniche.com goes in another
folder, no
matter where it comes from.
Hmm..
So what you want is:
:0:
- ^TO_.*@bizniche.com
accounts/`echo $MATCH | sed -e 's/[/]/_/g'`
This uses the dynamic technique for the mailing lists, but applies it to accounts. If you have "matt@bizniche.com", his mail will go into accounts/matt. If you have "linux@bizniche.com", his mail will go into accounts/linux.
I'd do some testing on this one, but this should work for you.

But also note that
* ^To:.*@bizniche.com
and
* ^TO_.*@bizniche.com
are not the same. See http://kclug.org/pipermail/kclug/2004-October/024036.html or the Miscellaneous section of the procmailrc manpage.

I have to play with them too. I grabbed some procmail recepies from dotfiles.com and plugged them in, but I haven't had a ton of time to hack on them too much. Just enough for them to work for me. =)

Here's a pretty definitive one:
Return-path: kclug-bounces@kclug.org

Dont use _a_ definitive one, but _the_ definitive one:
List-Id: KCLUG mailing list <kclug.kclug.org>

An Update!
After much toil (and reading / re-reading all the emails about this on the list) I think I have it working! Huzzah.
Exim is happily handing mail to procmail, which happily files it as it should. I am using my ISP's smtp server as the smarthost, so mail is all going out as it should, and doesn't seem to being blocked by any servers so far (as it was when my dynamic-ip-server was the smtp. Mutt knows how to read my SMTP folders. Squirrelmail knows how to send from different identities (a very cool feature...anyone know if Mutt can do that?)
Still adding to the procmail as different types of messages come in...and haven't tackled spamassassin yet. But thats next. Having it this far feels great!
Thanks for all the help on this everyone.

I found that mutt can use a different "From" header based on the folder you're sending from. Like this:
folder-hook . my_hdr From: "Matt Graham" mdg@mdg.homelinux.org folder-hook =.matt_biz my_hdr From: "Matt Graham" matt@bizniche.com
Works great.
