You did say ``any'' help : I have a daemon half written in perl that periodically checks a mailbox in /var/mail to see if there's anything in it and then moves it into separate files. It's very rough around the edges but does the job, and you could modify it to take appropriate action for your situation, but it's really just a poor implementation of approximately 0.0003 % of procmail's functionality. Despite that, if you want to have a look at it, then let me know privately.
