Here's some rules that I have for lists:

# Only look for 7 bit chars between square brackets, because a lot
# of spam with 8 bit chars in the subject would match this rule
header ELIST_1                  Subject =~ /^.{0,6}\[[\000-\177]{2,20}\]/
describe ELIST_1                Subject has something between square brackets

header   ELIST_2                List-Unsubscribe =~ /./
describe ELIST_2                List-Unsubscribe field exists

header   ELIST_3                X-Original-Date =~ /./
describe ELIST_3                X-Original-Date field exists

header   ELIST_4                Errors-To =~ /./
describe ELIST_4                Errors-To field exists

header   ELIST_5                Precedence =~ /bulk/i
describe ELIST_5                Prescendce is bulk

header   ELIST_6                Mailing-List =~ /./
describe ELIST_6                Mailing List field exists

header   ELIST_7                ALL =~ /(?:noreply|nobody)\@(?!localhost)/i
describe ELIST_7                Reply to nodoby/noreply

score ELIST_1                   -1.0
score ELIST_2                   -1.0
score ELIST_3                   -1.0
score ELIST_4                   -1.0
score ELIST_5                   -1.0
score ELIST_6                   -1.0
score ELIST_7                   -1.0
