In Mail.app I had similar rule setups to redirect.  I may end up 
forgoing the smart mailbox for mailing lists altogether, and instead 
file them into their own folders…  The _Unread_ smart folder is 
_fantastic_ in that it aggregates by which folder things are unread 
_in_, so I can quickly find a folder for a mailing list post-filing.
