Procmail is an autonomous mail processor.

It can be invoked at the individual user level simply by placing the following text inside of [[Variables|$HOME]]/.forward

"|exec /usr/local/bin/procmail || exit 75"

note the above must include the absolute path to procmail. After that, now you can begin the fun by creating a .procmailrc
Here is a sample .procmailrc:

CLEAN=${HOME}/.maildir/
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=${HOME}/.maildir/
LOCKFILE=${HOME}/.lockmail
LOGFILE=${HOME}/.maillog
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
# This places any emails To or Cc *jposel" into the ether.
:0:
* ^(To|Cc):.*jposel*
/dev/null
# The following are examples for a few popular mailing lists, in which it will
# place the content into the folder prefixed with .
