I agree procmail can do it (I do it with procmail). I question the "Very easy" bit. procmail is not easy to control. If you've the time to learn its quirks, it's great. However, it's somewhat like a C programmer trying to wrap his head around C++ (OOP/OOD). It takes a lot of "I WANT to do this!" to get it. Months of it. Perhaps years. Easier might be mailfilter. I've never used it, but it's purported to be the English language equivalent to procmail's "modem line noise" syntax, and as powerful. If the OP wants power and is willing to pay the price, procmail! If not, there's other ways. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
