Procmail is the king of mail filtering.  You can filter in pretty much any 
way you choose if you want to use procmail.  Just _test it first_. 
Procmail is unforgiving of configuration errors but you can setup a mail 
backup easily.

There is a lot of procmail experience on this list.  Many of us having 
been using it for years so if you want to explore this avenue I'm sure 
you'll get useful help.

Did I mention that procmail is unforgiving of configuration errors?
