The best generic system administration book for linux that i know is
"linux system administration handbook" by nemeth, hein, et al.  

they have a "unix system administration handbook" which is similar and
covers various unix flavors and i think some linux distro is one of them.

A good first reference is the "procmailex" man page (ex meaning
examples).

For dead trees, I haven't read it, but there's this:

  http://procmail.non-prophet.org/

also, this web site looks pretty good:

  http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/

drop me a note off-list if you need further help.   The procmail
syntax is somewhat baroque but the 90/10 rule applies.
