Maybe drop messages that contain that *and* are not from the list bounce
address, ie envelope sender isn't pgsql-general-owner...@postgresql.org ?
Actually, rather than looking at the Subject: at all, you should look
to see if pgsql-general@postgresql.org is in To: or cc:, and combine
that with the wrong-sender filter. That would avoid dropping private
replies.
Reply-to-all is a sufficiently ingrained habit around here that there
is exactly no chance people will do your filtering for you. The reasons
for that are partly historical no doubt (the listserv used to be a lot
less reliable/prompt than it is now), but the custom is established.
