Check out procmail it filters you mail based on certain rules, and if a rule
tells to send 'FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]` you can send it to /dev/null. Alot of
people use it for spam. The great thing about procmail, is that you can use
ANY mail client with it. It works with all mail clients, becuase it filters
the mail right when it comes to your mail server. It basically is `forwards`
all mail you have to the procmail filter program and then it puts your email in
the correct place, ie, inbox, linux-newbie box, /dev/null ...
I know elm used to come with a program called 'filter' that worked somewhat.
