Correct. X-* headers are not standard, and assumptions about them do
not apply to all mailing lists.

Correct again. Yes, you do have to analyze headers to nail these
things down. I think the best way is, give it some where to go _if
your recipe set recognizes it_, and if no recipe recognizes it, it
should fall into your inbox (which is the default).
DON'T create any recipe that delivers to /dev/null yet, no matter how
good you think your recipe is. Send it to "crap" or something
instead. Once in /dev/null, there's no going back.

Perhaps we both should. :-) Sorry, I don't profess to be an expert.
Those can be found in procmail-users. I'm just trying to explain what
I've managed to find works for me. The manpages should give you
better information.
