Yes, it's annoying. But you can filter it out yourself. Try this in
your .procmailrc:
# All vger lists
:0
* ^Sender: owner-linux-.*@vger\.rutgers\.edu
* ! ^(((To|Cc):)|( )).*linux-.*@vger\.rutgers\.edu
/dev/null
Personally, I wish the list maintainers did this on the input, but
they have reasons not to.
Regards,
