I want to receive all mail relating to lists that I create and manage into my inbox. Because there are arbitrary list names and also numerous domains, I think that the best way is for all list mail to carry an identifying mail header.
Having searched the archives, I understand I should edit the source. I am thinking like appending a tag to an existing header like List-Id:
Is this giving the corre t file to edit. $ find /usr/lib/mailman -type f -exec grep -l List-Id {} \; /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/Handlers/CookHeaders.py
Any caveats, guidelines, bearing in mind this: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2011-December/072595.html

Not really. There's a better way.
I am thinking like appending a tag to an existing header like List-Id:
I would not do that. List-Id: is defined by RFC 2919, and while you may not care if your list's List-Id: header is not fully compliant, other members of your lists might.
I would use a X- user defined header, e.g. X-MyList: for this purpose.
I would not edit CookHeaders.py, even if I were going to modify the contents of the List-Id: header. I would create a custom handler to add my header or modify the List-Id: header added by CookHeaders. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9> for more about implementing custom handlers and why this is the right way to do what you want.
