Out of interest, why don't you just have procmail do the whole job and
put them in their own folders, or indeed have Evolution filter them on
its own?
Also, you'll get more reliable filtering if you filter on the sender
rather than other headers. Only the SMTP sender is 100% reliable -- my
Exim filter rule for lkml, for example, is:
if "$sender_address" matches "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" then
save Maildir/.lists.l-k/
finish
endif
Other filters will have both false positives and false negatives under
some circumstances.
