Re: recipe for new emails into new locations

2000-10-18 07:26:37
Is it possible to use a procmail recipe to filter mail into a new file for 
each email received or based on a time or date...with the hope that I can 
parse this file for what I want and then delete the file...

Sure.  If nothing else, you can use the built-in MH support (even if not 
using MH) which stores the message in the specified directory with a name 
of a sequential number (1, 2, ..., x).

If you just want to parse something out of the file, why not pipe it 
through your parse program directly instead of saving it as a file?
