Linux Magazine's, "Guru Guidance" column has been running a multi-issue
tutorial on PROCMAIL for processing e-mail (filtering & such).  It seems
as though procmail might be "one small part" of what you are looking for.

> Hello all,
> I've been faced with a problem to set up a Linux server to replace a

> i connect to the internet via ISDN.... at my provider there is an
> account that holds all of the email for @my.domain.com
> this server holds the email for 24 hours until i retrive it. i need to
> access this server via POP and get all of the emails onto my server.
> from there i need to look at the user  for examle   joe@my.domain.com
> and send the email to the corresponding account on my linux box (via
> sendmail perhaps, unless if someone else has a better idea) from there
> the user has to have web access to his or her email, but not
> POP......(anyone recommend a good, FREE web email system??) any email
> that cant get sorted to an email account (i.e. no user exists on the
> linux box), needs to be put into a central account
> (postmaster@my.domain.com or something similar)  if anyone has any clues
> on how to set up sendmail, fetchmail or any other program that they know
> how to do it with, that would be FANTASTIC!........ currently this is
> all handled by a program on the Netware server that doesnt do it that
> well, has many problems.
> also, this server needs to do one other thing. we have 2 64k ISDN
> lines.....what i need it to do is sit there with one line connected 24
> hours. it needs to monitor the traffic running through this line, and
> when it reaches a certain threshold, to bring up the other line and then
> use channel bonding to double the speed of the link. When the bandwidth
> usage drops back down below a low water mark, it needs to shut down the
> 2nd ISDN line. Again the Netware server is having MAJOR problems with
> this.   This (linux) server will also be running squid as a web cache (i
> have to have about 100 clients handing off these 2 isdns, its a school
> on a low budget).........
> any help on any of these topics would be great  thanks in advance
