I'm no fan of procmail--in fact, I'm something of an enemy--but a
procmail recipe to send all ADS-L mail into a separate folder is
as simple as adding this to your existing .procmailrc:

----- begin recipe -----
:0:
* ^TOADS-L
$HOME/adslmessages
----- end recipe -----

with "adslmessages" being the name of your desired mailfolder.
I keep my regular ADS-L mail in my main mailbox, but I route
list error messages and other administrative mail into a
separate folder.
