First of all, I haven't tested this, so it may or may not work.  It also
may or may not send *all* of your email to the bit bucket.  I *highly*
recommend you use a separate mailbox, instead of /dev/null, until you
know it works.

--- cut here ---
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail          # you'd better make sure it exists
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/.fromlog   # recommended

:0
* !^TOChangingLINKS
{
  :0 B
  * !ChangingLINKS
  # Store the message in $HOME/Mail/suspectmail
  # Change to /dev/null when you are sure it works.
  suspectmail
}
--- cut here ---

This recipe file will (I think) store any email that does not contain
the string "ChangingLINKS" in a mailbox called "suspectmail" in your
$HOME/Mail directory (make sure to create the ~/Mail directory first).

Hope this helps,
Jason
