automatically processing email

Hi,

Using normal email on Solaris, is it possible to configure an account so that it automatically process mails that arrive in an inbox? I would like to be able to set-up an account so that it sends the contents of the mails it receives to an external programme.

Thanks

Pete

Check out procmail. I've never used it but I think it can do what you want.

.forward file and write your own code using ksh or something already available on the machine.
