See http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html and http://homepages.tesco.net./~J.deBoynePollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html There are also several packages on CPAN for doing mbox reading/writing. You may also want to see if maildir format could work for you. It would be much easier to write. Copy ./INPUTMSG to the maildir directory as a unique filename and prepend Return-path and Delivered-to headers. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
