You don't happen to know what the flag is, by the way?  But, I can't see
what could possibly be wrong with a filter such as this:

  reply-to contains users at lists.fedoraproject.org
  move to folder lists/fedora
  stop processing

That, and several filters just the same, being set up on the inbox,
working with an IMAP server on the LAN.  There's nothing complex about
any of them.  And it doesn't seem to matter if I change it to filter on
the "to" address, for example.

I suspect it's down to Evolution not being able to walk and chew gum at
the same time.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
