There are a few different things you could do.
First, you could change the forwarding to go to a different
user (possibly on a different machine) that you log in as
every once in a while and check the emails (but you must
remember to do this! and you don't want to use root for that).
Second, you could (as suggested) install procmail filters
to automatically save those emails in a folder (which
you should check every once in a while! but again, you've
got to remember to do this).
Third, you could use a mail client (like ismail and
netscrape) that do automatic filing for you and set up
filing rules (again - you need to remember to check those
logs!).
Fourth, if you select option 1 above and make the destination
you on some machine you log in to around once a week anyway,
and on which you get no other email, that might solve 2 problems -
the mail you don't want to see and the fact that you really
should scan it regularly...
