In that case Mail::Audit wouldn't work either because sendmail would have
to invoke perl to process your mail. A typical .forward file is used:
"| perl mailfilter.pl"
Anyway, even if your sysadmin doesn't allow sendmail to spawn processes
upon delivery, you can still use procmail -- maybe in a cron job that runs
ever ten minutes or so. Just an idea.

Some sys admins setup sendmail so that it is not possible
to spawn processes such as procmail. In that case I'd
like to know if there is a way to use pine and have some
addon program or script which would be able effectively
filter mail.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can tell me about alternatives to procmail for
mail filtering. I use procmail at home, but at my office procmail is not
available (and I cannot get it installed). The only mail program I can
find is the standard unix mail program.
Do you have shell access to the system? It's not so difficult to
build and install procmail as a user on the system and then run it
from your .forward file.
