emil[0] is your friend. Once you've installed it, you can use the following
procmail receipes as examples. They mightn't do exactly what you want, but
maybe they point you in the right direction. I've been using them for ages
with success, though they're certainly all but perfect... :-}

The usual disclaimer applies: If it breaks, you get to keep all pieces.

[0] the original home page (http://www.uu.se/emil) doesn't work anymore -
you can search for emil-2.1.0 on Google - a quick search brought up
hints to RPMs, Debian packages and *BSD stuff.
