HELP!!!! How do I save an attachment using the ".forward" file????

Post by the.overlo » Sat, 22 Jun 2002 01:08:08



To anyone out there,

would anybody know how to save an attachment automatically using the
".forward" file in a user's home directory (Solaris)?

I'm trying to set up an automated message.  This automated messages
would go to a dummy account.  The purpose of this account is to
automatically save the attachment of the message without user
intervention.  Is this possible?

Can it be done with a ".forward" file?

Do I need a script maybe invoked from CRONTAB?  Does anybody maybe
have a script already done that can do such a task?

Thank you!


Take care!

No. Use procmail and write a ~/.procmailrc
