You might consider taking a look at Chip Salzenberg's "filter" program.
You can use it to disposition your incoming mail any way you'd like.
Since it uses an executable program (most usually just a shell or perl
script) to direct the processing, you can make it as outrageously complex
as you please.  Osu-cis (or something like tut.cis.ohio-state.edu for the
ftp minded) is the official repository for the latest and greatest version.
