> What would you suggest?  What do you use for mail filtering?

Most of my filtering is separating list subscriptions.  I do that by
using a unique address for each subscription; each of those addresses
has its own .qmail file to deliver messages to the corresponding
maildir (although a .qmail-default would also be doable).  I have a
Python script that sets up a new maildir and .qmail file and sends a
subscription request for when I want to subscribe to a new list.

The rest of my filtering consists of mostly simple .qmail lines.  For
more complicated rules, this patch is useful:

I like delivery-time filtering because it's asynchronous with the UI;
no matter how slow it is, it feels faster.
