I have my .forward aimed to a script that sorts the incoming to
appropriate mailing lists.  Unfortunately, when a large block of mail gets
freed up from someplace downstream and a dozen or so come in, each piece
of mail fires up the mail filter process, and the whole machine gets
bogged down. 

Since mail isn't real high on my priority list, is there a way to set this
up such that the script gets its priority knocked down such that the ttys
can keep going?

however, simply are and do not "belong" to anyone.
