Sounds like a job for Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language). It's freely available from http://www.activestate.com I'd try to figure out how to redirect bounce messages to an alias, that way your script doesn't have to deal with parsing a mailbox or speaking POP3, it just gets one message at a time. For example, create an application alias via the Win32 GUI named "cleanup" and point it at your Perl script. Then add the alias to the list itself. For extra points, add a function that will detect vacation message loops and unsubscribe the offender. Hint: the name of the file in your spool dir is passed as the only argument to your perl script by Imail. Mike (wishing I had the ability to set "From:" in the webmail header. This would be useful for lots of reasons, not the least of which is fixing my subscriber address here). ______________________________________________________________________ The HKSI-IMail Admin List is hosted by........
