The second row in your screenshot needs to specify **Any** instead of 
**All.** Your current set of conditions is satisfied only if the List-ID

Unfortunately, the choice of operators doesn't include "does not start 
with" alongside **does not contain.** Someone who knows more than I do 
might be able to tell you whether the match field at the end of each row 
accepts regular expressions that could specify the beginning of the List 
ID string.

Although you didn't ask, I'll also add that these automatically 
generated mailboxes can be renamed like any other mailbox. My own 
practice is rename unintelligible List-ID mailboxes with something 
readable that lets me know their nature (e.g., "3238652052BM" becomes 
"Asustor"). A leading character can force the mailbox to the beginning 
or the end of the list. When all the messages with that List ID are 
deleted, the list mailbox will disappear as well.
