How about using fetchmail? Write a small perl or shell script that does whatever you want it to do before pulling the mail, then runs fetchmail. I knew nothing about fetchmail when it was first suggested to me, but the fetchmailconf Tcl/Tk program is a very nice interface to the yukky fetchmail config file. A lot of what is being discussed in this thread is already possible with existing programs, scripts and libraries. My setup accomplishes what most of you (on the list) have been discussing: 1) I have a cronjob that runs every 5 minutes to pull my mail from the office POP3 server to my linux box. 2) I have my .forward file set to filter all incoming mail through a spam perl script called "nags". I never even see most spam, but nags moves all "spam" into a junkmail dir where you can later look at it if it wasnt actually spam. All filter actions are logged. I think it supports regular expressions (does Evolution support this in its filter function?). 3) I use Evolution (v1.0.4) to pull the "pre-filtered" mail from my local box via a local POP3 server. I assume this could be handled just as easily by setting up the account as "Server Type: Standard UNIX mbox" but I chose not to (I had a good reason why I didn't do it that way but it seems to have slipped my mind). _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
