I remember the discussion but I'm not sure when it happened. However, you
are very likely to want to look at:
http://simon-cozens.org/writings/mail-audit.html
and CPAN Mail::Audit.

or Mail::Procmail, if the 'procmail' recipe syntax is more your thing.

No personal experience, but Johan Vromans tends to plug it when someone else
plugs Mail::Audit on newsgroups.

To each his own style; just wanted to give an alternative. (I use
Mail::Audit FWIW, though in a very limited way at the moment.)

I like to use real procmail, and have it call perl stuff if I need to do
any heavy lifting.
