Ah, the power of `procmail`:

        PROCDIR=$HOME/.config/procmail

        :0
        * ^List-Id: .*\<([a-z0-9-]+\.)?arin\.net\>
        {
                SWITCHRC=$PROCDIR/arin.list
        }

        :0
        * ^List-Id: (North American Network Operators Group|.*\<(.+\.)?nanog\.org\>)
        {
                SWITCHRC=$PROCDIR/nang.list
        }

        # vim: set filetype=procmail:

Not many know about `INCLUDERC` and `SWITCHRC` directives in `procmail`. But
hopefully you got the idea. And it will help you break-down `procmail` config
into multiple ones and group filters based on categories.

Didn't knew about Google Apps Script. Thanks Tom. Gives me something to look
into.

And happy holidays everyone.
