If you are more comfortable with Perl, I'd recommend using the Mail::Audit
module. It works fine for me, and writing a filtering script is pretty
trivial. Read about it here:

(Somebody archived all of the old Perl Journal articles here, probably
without permission)
Actually, it looks like this was discussed before, so check out these
threads for more info:
