I hate storing wave files on mail server and faxes in tiff format.  
too much space.

That gets rather complicated. Attachments are stored as MIME type in 
the email themselves, so you'd need to use something like ripmime to 
extract the attachment, and then run a script on it to do your 
conversions, and then put the NEW attachment back into the email 
(which will probably break SPF).

Just some coding involved. The messages are saved in Maildir format 
under /home/vpopmail/domains/yourdomain.com/youruser/Maildir/new/blahblah
You'd write a script to watch for these files (or process them in a 
batch every couple hours), rip the MIMNE out of the message, pipe it 
into lame or whatever (you'd also have to write some conditionals into 
the script to look for specific MIME types), then put the mp3 back in 
the MIME section of the message. I can think of how to do the first 
couple parts, but putting it back into the email is something I can't 
think of at this time. May hit me later.

[resend since my first reply seems to be stuck in queue...]

I would take a slightly different path..

Get the data directly into a  php script on receipt (with a | into php 
scriptname ie).

Use a mimeparser in your script, find the mime types you want to change, 
change them on the fly and put the new data back . Send or write it to the 
right place..
So all is basically one php-script. (Or c program if you want)..

Should be not to difficult really..
