I posted this a few weeks ago.
Spam email is always sent using a fake To: line with thousands of
addresses in the Bcc: line. This way the spammers only have to send one
copy of the email; their server's mail program does the rest. But you
can take advantage of this.
Rename all filters for mailing lists and digests to start with "a" (I
use aa, ab, ac... but you could also use anameoflist1, anameoflist2
and so on).
Make a filter called b which searches for your correct username in the
To: line and sends the message to inbox.
For safety, make a filter called c which searches the From: line for
admin@your_domain (or whatever ID your system administrator uses) and
sends it to inbox.
Make 2 filters called z and zz which search for the character @ in the
To: and From: line and send the message to junk (or if you're sure you
haven't forgotten any lists, to delete).
Since Yarn processes filters alphabetically, first, all your mailing
lists will be sent to wherever you want, second, anything correctly
addressed to you or from your system administrator will be put in your
inbox and, third, everything else (which is spam) will be sent to junk
or deleted.
Since I set this up, of about 100 UCEs only 3 (which were actually
adressed to me) have gotten through to my inbox.
