Hello
It really depends on your environment.
You can do that:
- on the mail server side (ex: | in postfix config that lead to your script)
- with polling on imap or pop accounts with an appropriate client (PoCo::Client::POP3 or Net::IMAP::Simple)
- by parsing your Outlook inbox with Win32::OLE (what makes me think you are using Outlook ?)
- by using WWW::Mechanize or WWW::Hotmail or WWW::GMail eventually to read emails thru webmails
all this untested (except Net::IMAP::Simple actually that I've been using to pull emails from imap mailboxes once in a while).
good luck and should you need clarifications please be more detailled in youre requirements

Hey jesuashok, you shouldn't include your sig when you want to post anonymously :-D

I, for one, have no idea what "keep pouring your ideas" means, but I do know that it is a signal to ignore everything above it.
What do you mean, this post is evidence that I don't?

You made me curious: I had never thought about this possibility, but I wondered whether it may be a topic phrase in the idiom of some circles' jargon. A google search seems to exclude it. If you exclude jesuashok and perlmonks from the search, you only get a bunch of results in which the phrase is used incidentally.

Howdy!
Gee. What have *you* tried? Help us out here.
The only thing I have to pour right now is in a boot, and I can pour it
just fine even without the directions on the heel.

See Email::Filter and cohorts. It's very simple to write extensive mail filters with it. | [reply] |
