<p dir="auto">Charlie -- I was the one who got you down the path of tagging incoming mailing list messages in the first place. But something Max Rydahl Andersen said got me considering a different, cleaner approach. I'm not sure it will work for you, but here is what I did:</p>
<p dir="auto">First, I created a new smart mailbox called "Universal Inbox." The goal for the Universal Inbox is a place that I can work that isn't cluttered by all my various newsletter subscriptions. </p>
<p dir="auto">On the Universal Inbox I set its Mailboxes tab to a two-part "all" condition: </p>
<ul>
<li>Condition 1 is the built-in "All Messages" mailbox. That brings in every message from every server I use (Google, Business, Personal, etc). </li>
<li>Condition 2 of the compound is set to "None of the following mailboxes" and here I list every other Smart Mailbox that I don't want to see, like all my newsletter and the one I have to this MailMate List. </li>
</ul>

</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Now I do have to tag anything to exclude. I can work out of the Universal Inbox knowing that all the newsletters are already excluded automatically.</p>
<p dir="auto">Hope this might be helpful to you.</p>

<p dir="auto">I think I've got this working for me. I've created some additional smart mailboxes (Python, Web, etc.) and put the mailing lists I want in these. I then set a rule for all mailing lists to be tagged as Mailing List. Then I excluded the selected mailing lists from the general mailing list mailbox. Then I set a condition for my accounts and their inboxes to ignore anything tagged mailing list. I initially tried setting the condition tags does not exist for the inboxes but that didn't work as expected.</p>

<p dir="auto">Okay, this doesn't work quite as expected. Once a new mail arrives on a list, the list gets added to the general Mailing Lists folder but does not appear in the dedicated mailbox. I can appreciate this is because of the slightly circular logic and can work around it, but it would be nice if something like this could be added.</p>
