I think his question was "I have mail I already received, how do I get it
filtered?"

The answer: formail, a program that comes with procmail.  Basicly, you
will move oyur /var/spool/mail/user file to a temp file, rm the
/var/spool/mial/user, and then cat the temp file throuch formail, which
will remail it all.

Look at formail(1) for the command line options.
