Andrae Muys <a.muys at mailbox.uq.edu.au> moved upon the face of the 'Net and spake thusly:

To all such inundated souls:

Learn ye the wonders of procmail!

I can provide procmail rules that filter off humbug lists and linux
related lists to separate folders.

I would not get anything else done if I did not filter thusly:

	1) mailing lists (several dozen of them) each to own folder
	2) Mail from various periodic informational sources 
		(news bulletins, XXX of the day/week, industry
		 newsletters) to a "bulletins" folder
	3) mail via company aliases (from customers or cow-orkers) 
		goes to a "stallion" folder
	4) magic mailserver commands get autoresponded
	5) mail from system processes goes to "housekeeping"
	6) mail to only me (usually personal mail) goes to my "inbox"
	7) mail to me among others (almost always work stuff) goes to "intray"
	8) anything else (almost always spam!) goes to "inbucket"

You can get a copy of my .procmailrc from my mailserver.  Send me
email with "send procmail" as subject line.
