I need to start doing some email filtering. Can someone point me in the direction of how to do this if they have a link handy? If not I'll Google anyway, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

Google for procmail if you have access to it on your account. If not, you're probably stuck with whatever your MUA offers.

I meant procmail. Yeah, I have that locally. That's where I'm doing fetchmail. I've just always had trouble getting that combo just right. So it fetchmails via procmail so that I can filter out lists or people or spam at that point.

On the server side, postfix + spamasassin should do what you need and it's all supported "out of the box" with CentOS.
If you just want to filter certain emails to your inbox (heh), that's probably best handled on the mail client rather than on the server. Thunderbird's filtering works wonders for me. 8-)

Same with Evolution for me. Problem is at home I ssh into my home box and do fetchmail + pine. So I need to do some filtering there too. Both for the spam and also for mailing lists, etc. I once had a really good setup (procmail + fetchmail + sendmail), but I forgot how I got it "just so". Just thought I'd ask in case someone was already doing this. I'll likely Google it over the weekend.
