Process your email with procmail (Linux.com)
Linux.com covers
email filtering using procmail. "Procmail is a Mail Delivery Agent
(MDA), meaning it can be used along with a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) such
as mutt or sendmail to filter messages. Procmail processes all messages
before they are delivered to your mailbox. You can have your incoming
messages distributed into various folders based on preset criteria such as
the subject of a message or the recipient. The use of regular expressions
for creating rules and the ability to run multiple rules on messages make
procmail a very precise mail filtering program."

Why not use a general purpose language?
