I have a shell script which works well: [snip] echo "Checking for mail..." popclient -3 -F -u username -p password -o /var/mail/.jsutton.popclient \ email.host.org date echo "Processing mail..." formail -s procmail </var/mail/.jsutton.popclient cat /var/mail/.jsutton.popclient >>/home/jsutton/Mail/mail-backup cat /dev/null > /var/mail/.jsutton.popclient playbucket /usr/local/ftp/wav/tng/Hailing.wav [snip] > As well is procmail case sensitive? Can be. It depends on whether or not you want it to be. procmail is a difficult one but it really is necessary to read the man pages. If you want something simplier then perhaps the elm mail filter, or mh's filter would be a better place to start off. I use procmail with mh and exmh - which is fun to set up. :-> Good luck, Joel...
