Here's the procmail rules, it you want it. Put them in your
~/.procmailrc

-------
MAILDIR=/usr/home/ggop/Mail

:0:
* ^(To|C[Cc]):.*questions@freebsd.org.*
freebsd-questions

:0:
* ^(To|C[Cc]):.*standards@freebsd.org.*
freebsd-standards

:0:
* ^(To|C[Cc]):.*security-notifications@freebsd.org.*
freebsd-security-notifications
-------

Each rule observes the To and CC headers and drops it in the folder
inside $MAILDIR. Also, you could investigate the -y option in mutt.
If all this seems complicated, you could try pine (built in mail
filters, threading, colour, roles,  ...)
