First of all, congratulations on your excellent judgement in choosing
qmail.  Second, any of the normal filtering programs (procmail is the
ubiquitous choice) work if you use Mailbox or mbox delivery.  If you once
again exhibit your excellent judgement and choose to use Maildir delivery,
there is an excellent filtering program called 'maildrop' available from
http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/.  It's also supposedly easier to
use than procmail.  I'm sure that's rather difficult to believe...
