Depends on if you want to filter all mail to the server or just to your
inbox. For local, single user filtering you need a ~/.forward and a
~/.procmailrc file. The .forward should be:
---snip---
|/usr/bin/procmail
---snip---
Your .procmailrc will contain your rulesets. E.g.:
--snip--
PATH= /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
LOGFILE=$HOME/tmp/procmail.log
VERBOSE=no
COMSAT=no
SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail
:0:
* ^To.*flux-core@flux.org
flux
:0:
* ^Subject.*SLUG.*
SLUG
--snip--
To use procmail server-wide depends somewhat on your MTA. You'd add an
/etc/procmailrc file containing something like:
--snip--
ORGMAIL /var/spool/mail/$LOGNAME
MAILDIR $HOME/
SENDMAIL /usr/sbin/sendmail
:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc
--snip
Depending on whether you're using Postfix/Sendmail/Qmail you may need to
do some other minor configs.
BTW, have you looked at SpamAssassin?
