Hi Deedra, Here is the simplest case: Create a file in your home directory called ".procmailrc" and put two lines in it as follows: :0 c | play /usr/local/etc/prayer.wav Modify the second line to point to the particular sound file you want to play, and of course if the "play" command is wrong, change that too -- maybe to "aplay" for the alsa wav file player. You can also make the system play certain sounds when certain messages are detected, but the above will play a sound whenever any mail is received.
