You'll probably regret wanting that.

Years ago, with another client that had filtering rules that let you do
anything (run a program, etc.) when the rule was triggered.  It tried
doing just what you want, just for giggles.

As hundreds of mail came in from my mailing lists, it started ringing
like a one-armed bandit machine jackpotting in a casino, slowing down
mail processing at the same time, and kept on ding-a-linging long after
all the mail had come through.

You'd get the same thing with some IRC clients ringing their own bell
like mad, while you logged in to some server that spewed out hundreds of
lines of welcoming/warning text as you connected up.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
