I run FreeBSD 6.2/i386 with Postfix and Maildrop (for filtering and delivery). I want to setup a service such that sending a mail to say "someaddress@mydomain" with a list of links per line results in my machine downloading the files at these links replying with all these files attached. Is there any port which provides a functionality like this? Or is it possible to put together such a setup in place? I tried a Google search but didn't manage to frame this question concisely enough to get hits ... Also, many many years ago I remember using similar services on the Internet. I can't for the life of me remember their names now. Any one here recollects/ has used such services? Thanks, Rakhesh --- http://rakhesh.net/
