The main issue I pointed out is not from the Linux or Unix point of view 
since many MUAs on Unix and Linux platforms are capable of some very 
sophisticated filtering.  However, I did point out that many Windows 
clients do not have the capability. 
Actually, I found that exchange actually removes the X-List-Info: field. On 
Windows, I have not found a decent email program that can use any of 
the X- fields or the Sender: field. 
Outlook (&co), Pegasus, Netscape, Eudora arer limited to the normally 
exposed headers. I have not checked Calypso. 

At home I use exmh with filtering provided by procmail, which does a 
good job.
