That depends. What mail server is the ISP running? Can you setup the
procmail rule directly on the ISP's mail server, thus eliminating the
need to DL the messages you don't want? If the ISP is using Exchange, do
you have a windows box with Outlook installed that you can use to create
server side rules that will do the same thing? What is the client system
you have setup in your office running? Is it reliable, in the sense
that, will it be always on, free from people messing with it, not
subject to power failures, etc?
