Sorry for the late summary.
Overwhelming response is to use procmail
thanks to the following people:
Karen R. McArthur Xavier Mertens Lucio Chiappetti
Greg Merrell Richard Westlake Nemholt, Jesper Frank


Brief Response below:
Sendmail must be compiled with regexp support to
support basic filters.
If your server does not handle lot of mails/secs, I
recommand you to use procmail as local mailer!
If you use procmail as your local delivery agent
instead of localmail,
you can set up very sophisticated filters based on To,
From, Subject,
or any other header field. You can have a system-wide
filter ruleset
or per-user or both. There is quite a bit of
discussion of filters on
the www.sendmail.org site. Procmail itself can be
found at
www.procmail.org
