I think you want a procmail recipe like such (make a .procmailrc file in
the users home dir)

:0
* ^From:address@xxxxxxx
/dev/null

That is a very simple basic one to get you started.  Procmail supports
standard regexps, and you can do things like delete all email from a
given domain:

:0
* ^From:*@isp.com
/dev/null

Or from a certain username at any domain:

:0
* ^From:offers@*
/dev/null

Or maybe put all email with a particular subject in a folder

:0:
* ^Subject:.*cobalt
cobalt

Or maybe you want to do something will all email that is NOT from a
particular address:

:0
* ! From:her@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Inbox


Procmail is a world unto itself... Some google searches would turn up
hours of reading.

Also by default you usually have to chmod 744 the users home dir to make
procmail work.
