Hi, I have a need to write a lot of programs to process incoming mail, features I need are: Ability to pull out from, to's, cc's, bcc's (i.e. multiple recipients etc.). Ability to reject mail with attachments, or at least write the attachment out to a temporary file for possible later processing. I've been looking at procmail, and wondering if it will do what I want? My other alternative is to write a library of routines for processing incoming mail (on stdin) and splitting out the addresses / content 'on the fly' and calling other programs passing these details to other programs / (and possibly - though not likely shell scripts). This program can then be wedged in the typical: someaddress: "| /usr/local/bin/myprog" In sendmail's aliases file etc. Anyone got any suggestions? Are there any routines for doing this available? - Is procmail worth looking at? or am I heading in the wrong direction?...
