I think so:
formail -s procmail < /path/to/mbox
You may have issues with that. I believe the SIMS mailboxes are mbox except that they use carriage return instead of linefeed for line endings, and formail is unlikely to find that at all amusing.
if the path is on a afp mount it shouldn't matter
Are SIMS mailboxes even in mbox format?
er... yes.
Sorta. Note above.
We've gotta do something about this, and quick. the bandwidth alone is killing us.
procmail will not help with the bandwidth at all since it runs AFTER the mail is accepted. To help with bandwidth you will need to do something else that can examine the message contents for the virus and reject it at the SMTP transaction stage.
Even there nothing will really help with bandwidth inbound. To see the .pif attachment you need to get the message data. Whether or not you accept after that does nothing to save bandwidth in SMTP, only storage and presumably bandwidth for users picking up mail.
