When I'm building filters for Thunderbird for this list I use to or cc.

When I set up procmail for spam filtering for a client using maildir I
had to do some magic in .forward:

"|IFS=' ' && exec /usr/bin/procmail || exit 75 #name"

where name is the users name.

it will create the folder, but maybe not where you expect. In the cases
you listed above, lists.ubuntu-users/ will end up in $HOME/Maildir, not
in $HOME/Maildir/new.
