Just came across this thread in the archives. While I hate to add
further to it, I feel this will reduce the amount of arguments on the
list in future. Here's how I deal with such mail:

:0
* ^Subject: .*\[(exim|exim-dev|exim-future)\]
* ^(To|Cc): .*@exim\.org
{
         :0:
         * ^From: .*<marc@perkel\.com>
         /dev/null


         :0:
         * ^(References|In-Reply-To): .*<[^@]+@perkel\.com>
         /dev/null
}


The list has been a lot more pleasant since I added that.
