Tis best not to top post, Phil. But I can adapt....

I use personalized procmail. So I have a ~/.procmailrc for each
user. Mine contains lines like this resulting from people, sites,
or incidents that irritated me enough I don't want to be reminded.

Procmail is NOT a list manager.

{^_-}

----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil" <plabonte@xxxxxxxxx>

yes but I am accepting mail from the /var/spool/mail/user folder for a
ticketing system, so with procmail can I filter it before it gets put into
the folder? Not sure I understand how procmail works I thought it was a
mailing list manager...?

You could run the mail through procmail after being fetched and use that
to drop the mail you don't want.
