Hiya
 But its not that simple when some can post to several mailing lists
and some crosspost between lists.

You cant filter on list as not all the lists are easily identified as
such.
Filters are boolean , so you cant use "maybe"
Perhaps one day we will have AI filters , then you could filter on the
perceived IQ of the poster, then you can filter on dumb, dumber and
dumber :-), even have trump status , but I wont say which end of the
spectrum to put that.
