Debian has a package that has example scripts for different things like
deleting duplicate emails, and all sorts of fancy stuff.  While that's
neat and all, I only wanted to have my incoming mail sorted different
files.  Here's a procmail script that I used before I switched from
smail to exim.  Basically, my procmail looks at different header lines,
and if theres a match, it dumped the mail into the folder (file).
/home/blunier/.mail/<filename>
