Actually it's just the "/[^@]+"

I think this is match any characters until the "@" in the mailing list email address. The "" escapes the "/" in this case, and "[^@]+" would mean match 1 or more characters that are not "@". I'm not entirely sure why you need the "/" in there. Any hard core procmailrc guys wanna chime in?

and the "/[/]/_/g'`" that confuse me.

If you get a "" or a "/" in the name of the mailing list, then turn it into an underscore "_". I don't think they are valid in filenames. Now that I think about it, I don't know why they would be in an email address either. Better paranoid than broken, right?
