in reply to follow up on forwarding

Procmail might serve your needs better, actually, as it allows some greater flexibility. It works like filters for netscape's mail client, but is configured at the server level via a text file in the user's home directory. (And it is a lot easier than it looks). There's a pretty solid tutorial for it here: at infinite ink. Most *nix systems come with procmail installed.

I don't know your requirements exactly. How are you getting the mail in a particular folder to that particular folder? Is it possible that that system could forward the mail in addition to sorting it?

    People uses to still call it Sendmail but normally it is Procmail that even acts as if it were Sendmail.

    Other MTAs might also have a .forward local folder to put a list of addresses to forward if certain rules happen with the incoming email.

    Those rules might even call certain scripts! Well perl and GNU-Linux are from my point of view, the same family!
