Isn't it weird that you're posting to a mutt list with a procmail
problem?

Why not try the procmail list.

But these are stupid and overly simplistic recipes.

For this list, you could try something like this:

:0:
* ^Sender: <owner-mutt-users
mutt-users

If you want to use ^To:, I'd suggest looking at the procmailrc and
procmailex man pages for the usage of "^TO" or "^TO_" - but if you don't
want to use those, you'd at least want to match ^(To|Cc): - and then
skip the extraneous ".*".

e.g.,:
* ^TO_debian-users@lists\.debian\.org
$MAILDIR/debian

Note that if you're using mbox files (and looks like you are since
there's no trailing slash), you should use :0: instead of :0 (to create
a lockfile)).

Now if you have more procmail questions, I suggest you look at the
various procmail FAQs out there and / or consult a procmail mailing
list.
