Re^2: Email modules

Hmmmm... Thanks for your suggestion, but I guess I forgot to mention two things. One, I am not running a POP mail server. Two, the email address that is being used does not have a mailbox... its only a pointer to the mail filter script. I do not want to store any incoming emails. Just strip the information I need, perform any needed functions on the information, then send a response to the sender and trash the original email. Also, this needs to be performed as soon as the email is received. Thanks again for your suggestion...

I suggest you look at the Mail::Box module anyway. It is written in a way that is generic - it asbtracts the Mailbox - and is independent of the transport (which is POP3 in my case). You may be able to use the Message and Messager-header objects, or subclass them. Or at least get some ideas on how to structure mail - like I said - this is a very-well designed module, worth a peek. Earth first! (We'll rob the other planets later)	[reply]
