       ^^^^^^

This should be X-Loop presumably.

Note that \/ sets MATCH to _everything_ after the regexp matches after
the \/, so you end up with LISTNAME="chat at lists.humbug.org.au" which
mightn't be what you want. Another option is:

	:0
	* ^X-Loop: [a-z_-]*@lists.humbug.org.au
	* ^X-Loop: \/[^@]*
	list-mail/$MATCH

which will save messages to list-mail/chat, automagically, also avoiding
security problems. You can probably generalise this for Sender: with
something like:

	:0
	* ^Sender: \/[^./@][^@/]*@[^/][^/]*$
	list-mail/$MATCH

You can't mess with stuff outside list-mail since you can't use any "/"es,
and you can't put stuff in hidden files since you can't start with a ".".
You can make horribly named files with spaces and stuff, but those aren't
security risks in and of themselves, and hey, users do that anyway...

Cheers,
aj

I don't speak for anyone save myself. GPG signed mail preferred.
