I'm not sure if one exists or not. Is there a program which can automatically
sort incomming email (hopefully at the time it comes in)? I'm getting tired
of manually having to sort out the wanted email from the unwanted email. I'm
preferably looking for something that can do a string search through the
letter to determine if the letter is fit or should be trash canned into
/dev/null. C source preferred, but CSH or PERL scripts will do. Also I do
have ftp capability.

GNUS can do it. Pick up pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/packages/gnus-3.13.tar.Z from archive.cis.ohio-state.edu (NOTE NEW HOME for archives at OSU CIS) and look at contrib/mail-n-news. I've been using this scheme for a little over two years now. Kill files for personal.general are a wonderful thing. --karl
