Despite how procmail might look, I would really recommend it. If you poke
around enough, you'll find plenty of pre-made procmailrc files and such,
one of which probably does what you want. Installing and connecting
procmail to your .forward is pretty simple...again, you'll find tons of
docs/examples online about this.
Sorry I don't have time to give a more detailed description of what to do,
but I just wanted to let you know that procmail is well worth whatever
effort it takes to get it working. Once you have it doing what you want,
you're going to keep finding new and wonderful uses for this program :)
Good luck. Maybe someone else can post some useful links or tips.
