Umm, well, I must confess I'm unsure about what you want.  A simple
procmail rule to redirect a message into a specific mailbox might look
like:

MAILDIR="${HOME}/mail/"
SHELL=/bin/sh

# SIS
:0:
* ^TO_.*somelistname.*
path/to/mail/subfolder/then/mailboxname

Your user specific procmail configuration would be in ~/.procmailrc.
There are man pages for procmail, procmailrc, and procmailex (procmail
examples).

You can direct sendmail to use procmail for local mail delivery, or
invoke procmail from your ~/.forward file.  To see if your sendmail
installation is configured to use procmail, do

grep procmail /etc/sendmail.cf

Look for a line beginning w/ 'Mlocal'
