Hello, I have in the past, depending on what MTA I am using used two different filtering methods. When using exim I simply use the built in .forward filtering which is very well described in there docs and on www.exim.org. On another system (the one I am currently writing from actually) that runs sendmail, I use procmail to filter and sort my mail. Good instrucitons on how to set this up can be found at
www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/ and a bunch of good links are found on the procmail site. Anyone else use something else? I personally found procmail a bit clunky after using exim's functionality but well mileage will vary.
