I've been trying to setup a procmail filter to route my "list owner" 
mail into a distinct folder from my general inbox, but haven't been 
having much luck.  It seems Majordomo uses several different patterns 
of headers for such messages:

Notifications (when a user subscribes, unsubscribes, etc.) are sent 
To: list-owner@domain and From: mj2@domain.

Confirmation requests are sent From: list-owner@domain and don't 
contain a To: header.

I realize I could use separate regexes for each of those types of 
mail, but I'm curious if there's about the rationale for the 
difference?  Backwards compatability?  An RFC?  Jason's whim? :)
