Filter it out server-side.

Or, almost as simple with for instance procmail, create a script that creates a digest of all certain mail.

With regards to e-mail build-up over time: I usually find time (about twice a month) to just go through my mailboxes and purge the automated messages. Kinda tedious, but it doesn't bother me much since many of them have already been categorized.

I actually have my scripts set up so that I only get mail if there's a problem. No problem means no email. However, most scripts are set to send a weekly (sometimes monthly) mail so that I know that the script is still active

Comments? I track them via RSS, tried CoComment or just make a quick bookmark and track them manually for a few days
