I use a tool called vexim (http://www.freshports.org/mail/vexim/) that integrates Exim with MySQL and also supports virtual mailboxes. However, I can use procmail with any of the mailboxes, too. If you post more details about your setup, someone here might be able to figure out a solution so you can use procmail.

Script To Execute command via mail
I have an interesting situation. I have a windows based sms server, this machine works in the following way. It watches a shared directory for txt files that must be formatted in certain way and periodically sends them off to mobile. What I want to do is create a SMTP to SMS gateway. Easy in theory! Rite a script to map shared drive, ensure it's connected and write the txt files in dir. However the second part I have no idea, somehow I need to watch the mbox file of say a e-mail account called "test" And IF a mail arrives parse it look for a security key if exists convert to txt file and copy to shared dir. SMS sent.. Any suggestions? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
