I think Pine has its own mail filtering built in now, there's always
the Netscape filters in its mail app and...my personal favorite plan.

Install an MTA (sendmail,postfix,exim,qmail etc.)
Install procmail <THE filter for mail>
Configure the MTA to use procmail as the MDA, meaning all mail gets
passed to procmail for delivery.

Then read the manpage/docs for procmail and setup a ~/.procmailrc and
filter your lists accordingly.

If you go that route you can POP your mail with fetchmail called from
a crontab etc.
