I'm looking for a way to put mail messages from listservs and the like
in another mail box automatically (as I retrieve them from my mail 
spooler).  I'm using emacs and rmail.  

For example, I'd like all messages from "user@machine" to go into another 
mail box (possibly called ~/user.mail) so that I can read the less important 
stuff later. (This is especially a problem in the mornings when I get 40-50 
messages, most from framers@drd.com or TeX_Info@shsu.bitnet, but the 
important ones are buried in between.)

If someone knows of an alternate rmail or some trick that I could put
in a .forward file (BTW, SunOS 4.0.3), I'd really appreciate hearing
from you.  I'm looking for something that can be implemented at the user
level (i.e., I don't want to change any system stuff).

Thanks,
--
