I think installing xbiff *only* to ignore a few mails is overkill. I
RTFM'd and found that the "checkCommand" ressource is grokked by
xbiff:

,----- from ~/.Xdefaults
| XBiff*checkCommand: /home-local/grossjoh/bin/check-for-new-mail
| XBiff*onceOnly: true
| XBiff*update: 5
`-----

,----- ~/bin/check-for-new-mail
| if ( from | egrep -v 'debian' >/dev/null 2>&1 )
| then
| exit 0;
| else
| exit 2;
| fi
`-----

This works dandy, and it's simple to add to the egrep, too.

I already use the nifty mail splitting functions from Gnus and I'm so
happy with them that I don't want anything else.
