Al,
Since you seem to be filtering your spam using spamassasin, why not set
up a procmail filter to filter your Peace mail to a separate mailbox?
The following rules should catch just about everything.  I don't filter
on the keyword "Peace" in case somebody not on from the lists emails me
with that subject:

:0:
* ^To: .*peace at lists.groogroo.com
Peace

:0:
* ^Cc: .*groogroo.com
Peace

:0:
* ^To: .*groogroo.com
Peace

:0:
* ^Sender: .*lists.groogroo.com
Peace



Then every week, you can just delete the mailbox Peace.
