exim has its own filtering language which individual users can use in
a dot-file in their home dir. I find it much easier to read than
procmail ;-) though I believe it's ultimately less powerful (but all I 
do is file mailing lists into folders).

excerpt:

# Exim Filter <-- don't change this line

if $h_mailing-list matches "list ([^@]*)@([^ ]*)" then
    save mail/$1
    finish
endif

if $h_X-Mailing-List matches "<?(.*)>?@(.*)" then
    save mail/$1
    finish
endif

if $h_sender is "owner-cups@easysw.com" then
    save mail/cups
    finish
endif
