In theory, the "List-ID" header is designed for this very purpose (I 
think).  Unfortunately, certain mail clients (I think older ones) don't 
faithfully reproduce the header, so once in a while a message that was 
filtered by List-ID ends up in my main Inbox.

For Python Tutor, I have a rule that filters based on the presence of 
the string

     tutor.python.org

in the List-ID header.  It works most of the time.
