What is suggested for getting Filter or Listproc (for sorting-to-
INBOX?)

How does one get rid of a second (INBOX B) in one's Incoming Folder
"host", when it wants to keep coming back?

I currently subscribe to a mailing list run via Listproc.  The code is so
buggy, that it assumes the "Version" line in a PGP signature is giving
Listproc some kind of command, and it returns an error--except it doesn't
inform the submitter of the post that his/her post has been rejected. 

Procmail, on the other hand, is very robust, widely respected, and
generally acknowledged as the best mail processing program available.  if
you can think of it, it can probably do it.  There's also a Procmail
mailing-list for especially troublesome questions; its address is in the
Procmail documentation.
