Cool.

For those who are friendly with perl, Email::Filter or
Email::Filter::Rules provides a less cryptic alternative to
procmail. I use Email::Filter with Net::IMAP::Client so that
I run one filter process per mail check, rather than one
process per mail when triggering the filter from a .forward
file.
