I am getting hammered on one email account with viruses/worms. Notsuch a big deal at home, because I can run popfile and read my mail. But I access my mail via a webmail interface when at the office, andit is annoying to keep finding 100 "Check this out kid!!!!" emails stuffing my box. What I'd like is an application to read my POP3 mail and to download/forward suspicious mails to a different account so that my main inbox is mostly clear. There are only 3 or 4 subjects that are very prevalent, and if the application could just check for those and let me add new subjects in the future, life would be wonderful. Is there an application that will sniff my inbox for me?
Where do you want to run it? If you're happ y to download the email and then filter it, fetchmail will retrieve your email for you and feed it into your local MTA - exim, postfix, sendmail etc.
Then you can use procmail to filter the email.Setting up procmail is easy, but some of its filters are decidedly trickly. There is, however, a mailing list dedicated to it.
Note that one the email has reached your first mail box, it's too late to bounce spam, you likely to ofind spammers pretending to be me or you and you know how often we spam!
