(ar0n: use Mail::Procmail) Re: Program to strip message from sendmail-style mailbox

Actually, a fellow dutchman (Johan Vromans) just released a module called Mail::Procmail (look at CPAN), which filters mail and does stuff with it.

update: the documentation is here, and the tar.gz is here.

Actually, I was looking for a sort of standalone perl file that would go through and extract those messages so I can send them off to someone else or archive them. This would be for a mailfile that already exists not for incoming mail.	[reply]

There's Mail::Folder::Mbox (part of the MailFolder package) that maybe you could use to extract the messages, in conjunction with Mail::Procmail to actually do the filtering. --ZZamboni	[reply]
