Thank you very much for you input!  I looked at the web page, and it
seems that the perlwizard is written in java, which is something I stay
away from as much as possible ...

I ended up with a pretty simple config file like this:


sender : subject : action1, action2, ..., actionN


From there, I've turned it into an emacs org-mode table for easier
editing.  The script needs less than 100 lines to read it, including all
checks.

I really like those tables :)
