Just to add to the list of choices, I use Maildrop...

<bof>
# Maildrop filters file
# This file belongs at $HOME/.mailfilter

MAILBOX="$HOME/Mail"
MAILDIR="/var/spool/mail"
DEFAULT="$HOME/Mail"

logfile $HOME/.maildroplog

##
## Distribution Lists mail
##
if ( /^(To|Cc):.*debian-user@*/ )
{
to $MAILBOX/deb-user
}

if ( /^(To|Cc):.*debian-laptop@*/ )
{
to $MAILBOX/deb-laptop
}

if ( /^(To|Cc):.*debian-security@*/ )
{
to $MAILBOX/deb-security
}
<eof>
