I used to do the same thing, but our message store is now based on Cyrus
so filtering is not done using Sieve. Cyrus's implementation doesn't (yet)
support the variables extension so filtering mailing lists becomes rather
repetitive and has relatively high manualarity. Still, my filter hasn't
quite reached 1000 lines yet.
