Hi,

I am trying to find a way to pipe all of my incoming mail messages
through a script which would parse the mail header and save messages from
certain people to another file. Is there any way to do this so that the
system still appends the mail messages to my mail box ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Dave :)

Tom Christianson (sp) wrote a beautiful perl script to do this called audit.pl

SCO has this capability with MMDF. This might span to other systems
as well. The .maildelivery file allows this. Try a man maildelivery.
There is an example there that could help you. Sendmail should have
the same or simliar functionality.

Actually, Martin Streicher wrote it. But the mistake could
easliy be made, given that they both were at CONVEX at the time.

I haven't used audit, but I do know it makes use of various MH
parts. I do use Tom's PLUM mail user agent, which is also layered over
MH. plum is very nice, but isn't geared at processing articles.

Various filters have been posted to variouis source-related newsgroups
over the past several months. Among them are procmail, which would do
what Mr. Nicodemus seems to want. Check with your friendly neighborhood
archive server.

There are many programs (packages) out there :
- "filter" (part of Elm distribution)
- procmail
- mailagent
- and others ... :-) [I use my own perl script]

Use "archie" to locate ftp sites closer to you.
