procmail might have worked, but it's more of a pain to learn procmail
than it is to write my own filter. I also get more flexibility this way.
The write-up of my approach is at
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/02/msg00100.html>.
Maildrop does exactly this. For instance,
^From:.*User Name/
Transforms to this snippet of .mailfilter:
if ( /^From:.*User Name/:h )
to /dev/null
Works with exim, postfix and probably qmail OOB.
maildrop is definitely recommended these days (especially for anyone
still running procmail).
