Argh, woops. I wondered where the resolution you referred to was; I was
looking for dropped emails in my logs... :)

Methinks the time to learn about mail filters is at hand, so you can
sort all this stuff into different mailboxes. I'd be wholly unable to
keep track of the email flood without it.

Myself, I use procmail; it'sa heavily used program (read `heavily tested
and doesn't lose mail unless you tell it to'), with the upside that
there's almost nothing you can't do with it and the downside that it's,
um, a tad baroque, shall we say.

(OK, so that's perhaps not too different from every other Unix
program. I'll brush over that. ;) )
