There already exists something to do this (and I use it!)

Filter on the Sender: header

All mailing lists should already be doing this, it is rather nice.

For example, ALL messages from the MG mailing list will have a sender 
header that looks like
"Sender: owner-mgs@autox.team.net"
(without the quotes).

Since it is a header that is exclusive to mailing list software, and 
not mangled by Replies etc... it is a much better way to go.
