I may be able to find some time to take a look at improving it if you email
me a copy of it. Another possibility would be to run a copy of Mailshield
with all filters turned on. John Buckman might give you a copy free given
the purpose (and you tell him I sent ya). See http://www.mailshield.com for
more info. It's fairly easy to install, and may be more productive of your
time than having to hand-craft some procmail stuff.
