Is anyone can help me Have a look at /etc/aliases. Look at the entry "msgs: "| /usr/bin/msgs -s" What this means is that when an email messages comes through for msgs it gets redirected (read piped) to /usr/bin/msgs. The thing to keep in mind is that to any program that the input is being piped to sees the email coming in on STDIN. Your best bet is to write a Perl script that reads from STDIN and process the lines from there. It's not really tricky as long as you look at the problem in the right way.
