Is there a unix command or some "." file that I can use to
sort all my new incomming mail? In particular, I would like
to sort out my mailing list email from my regular email...
I am interested in somehow having them get saved into separate
file automatically as they come in.
You might investigate using the MH mail-handling system. It uses the
concept of "folders" where you can file all your mail. You can
install hooks to do automatic refiling into various folders when mail
arrives, if your mail comes into the same host you (potentially) read
it on. MH is about the best unix mail system out there, in my
opinion, especially if you're distributed across multiple hosts.
