I have yet to experience a problem using the List-ID with sieve whether
the document was relayed via Google (GMail) or otherwise. Yes, you
don't get a copy of the message that you sent to the list, but that is
because Google (GMail) sucks. I have never experienced any other
failure problem using List-ID. Now, if you are specifically attempting
to receive mail from a list that has been specifically CC'd or BCC'd to
you, than that is another matter entirely. It just requires you to more
carefully construct your sieve rules.
I use a slightly differently constructed rule then the one shown above
although functionally equivalent:
if anyof (header :contains "List-Id" "freebsd-questions.freebsd.org") {fileinto "FreeBSD"; stop;}
I have a rule prior to this one that basically files any document CC'd
to me into a special folder which, if I ever get ambitious, I
occasionally peruse.
