Yes there is.  The problem is that you are expecting your lingo to be
used in the descriptions, but you need to adopt the correct vocab for
this.  What you need is filtering software, forget "direct incoming mail
automatically", however accurate.  If you can possibly manage it, you
should install server side filtering software (procmail, sieve,
maildrop, etc), and use the matching plugin (Server Side Filter, Sieve,
etc), but if you want the poor-person's replacement that will work with
the flip of a switch, just enable the filters plugin that already came
with your SquirrelMail installation.
