There's another field in the header of each message called Sender. This is
always:

   Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG

for messages coming from -questions mailing list and:

   Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG

for messages coming from -stable mailing list.

You can use this field to filter messages you receive and store them in
different folder.
