The procmail system lets you test for certain contents of message headers and take appropriate actions if the test is successful. The following fragment is taken as an example from a file called ".procmailrc" in my home directory (note the leading dot) and could serve as the entire file if you have no other actions to implement. It assumes a sound file in /usr/local/etc, which you may of course modify, and a mail folder called "spam" in the directory "mail" of the home directory. It goes like this: :0 c * ^From: kevin <kjsisco at rcn.com> | play /usr/local/etc/flush.wav :0 A $HOME/mail/spam Hope that helps. I know it will streamline my mail processing, that's for sure. -- The Moon is New Get my public key from website, http://www.mhonline.net/~chuckh
