I use both procmail and Gnus splitting. Procmail is used to separate
stuff from mailing lists and spam into their own spool files. Gnus
splitting is then used to refine the remainder.

I do it like this so that I can use a biff type program, in my case
kbiff, which only looks at the default spool file. That way it tells
me when I have important mail that I should probably look at now, but
not have it get swamped by stuff that can wait. I use the same setup
at work, where it is particularly useful.
