Look at the 'filter' program that comes with the Elm mailer.
To use it, you just set up your .forward file to pipe all mail through
the filter and it applies a set of rules to each item of mail.

The rules can specify that different things happen to the mail depending on
who it was addressed to, and a number of other things.
