I use mailfilter which you can configure for specific words in the To:,
From:, and Subject: lines. It contacts the server and deletes the emails on
the server periodically (with crontab), so that they are never actually
brought in from the server to my dial-up connected computer.
I have it set up both manually and with a crontab where that is performed
first and then the mail is fetched (I use getpop3).
