#by Roger of Perlmonks
#There are many ways to do this. I recommend the following 
#modules: Mail::Box to manage the mail box and 
#Mail::Message::Attachment::Stripper to strip (multiple) 
#attachments.

#Batch mode - I would use the powerful Mail::Box module to 
#parse each user's mailbox, and for each of the user's mail 
#messages, extract the (folder) name of the user from the 
#email address line, strip all the attachments with 
#Mail::Message::Attachment::Stripper (or similar module), 
#and put the attachments into user's folder.

#Procmail mode - When email message comes in, load it into 
#a scalar, extract the folder name from email address, and 
#use Mail::Message::Attachment::Stripper to strip the 
#attachments. You might also want to delete the attachment 
#from the original email, just save the email message, and 
#append some sort of notice to the modified mail message 
#that their mail attachments are saved under their user 
#directories.


# load the mail message into $mail
# extract user folder path into $user_folder
#...

my $m = Mail::Message::Attachment::Stripper->new($mail);
my @attachments = $m->attachments;

foreach my $a(@attachments) {
 next if $a->{content_type} !~ /jpe?g|gif/i; # ignore non-jpg/gif atta
+chemnts
 my $f = new IO::File "/home/$user_folder/" . $a->{filename}, "w" or
    die "Can not create file!";
 print $f $a->{payload};
