I do all my incoming mail processing with Perl. Generally I have a Perlscript which will retrieve messages from a specified mailbox and process it (which means generally inserting records in a database and perhaps replying to the sender). An example of where I use this is for processing email sent to an address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] where a call must be logged into a call logging system and a service request number must be returned to the sender. Most of the time I write a command file that will fire the perlscript off with the correct parameters and I schedule this command file to be executed every number of minutes/hours/days/etc. through the task scheduler although you can also execute the perlscripts through an external action in Witango. I use ActiveState Perl which can be found at www.activestate.com.
Would this help you? If so contact me off list and I can send you the code to do this.

I'm thinking of something like this for one of my companies. I have built an address book and bulk emailer, but any thoughts on retrieving mail from a mail server? What do you think the best way to go about this would be?
