I would say, your MTA has nothing to do with it.
If you run your own Server and your MTA receive a new message,
let it point to procmail and sort it. I assum, you access the
server trough IMAP so the next time you connect with your
prefered MUA or Squirrelmail you will see the mesages nicely
sorted.
I get today per day arround 700 messages (10 years ago it was
more then 2500 per day) and i have go only in mailfolders I am
interested in.
My IMAP structure is
INBOX
.BTS_debian
.<source_package>
.ML_debian
.arm
.embedded
.security
.user
.user-german
.ML_mail
.courier-users@lists_sourceforge_net
.mutt-announce@mutt_org
.mutt-users@mutt_org
.squirrelmail-users@lists_sourceforge_net
.ML_misc
.bind-users@lists_isc_org
.ML_pgsql
.general
.ML_php
.general
.ML_xwindow
.fvwm@fvwm_org
.xorg@lists_freedesktop_org
...
Mutt and Squirrelmail marke the folders where are new messages.
and if I am only interested in mutt, I have not to search in a
mailbox with several 100 (or several 1000 after holliday)
unrelated messages.
I hope this give you a clue.
No chance for Webbased Forum especially with all this trackers in it!
