No. You need to use getmail and maildrop for this.
Okay, okay, I'm just being a smart-ass. You need a scriptable pop client
and a user-side mail filtering program (as opposed to a server-side mail
filter).
Commonly recommended pop clients:
- fetchmail
- getmail
Commonly-recommended user-side mail filter programs:
- procmail
- maildrop
and I've heard of at least one more in each category, but I don't recall
their names.
This should be on a FAQ.
