1) Is it possible to employ Procmail so that the contents of the mail are
stored in a particularly directory and a script is started to process the
contents ?
Yes.
I am considering whether it is possible to send a mail to a
SOLARIS account which puts the contents ( text, MS Word documents etc) in a
particular web-directory depending on the subject.
Sounds easy enough.
If that is possible , is
it mandatory that the contents can be stored in a sub-directory of the home
directory of the recipient?
Contents can be written anywhere the executing user has write permissions.
2) Does procmail need a particular process to be running? If so, how to
start such a process?
Procmail itself is spawned either by an invocation from a .forward file, or
preferrably, as the LDA from your MTA (Sendmail for instance).
3) Where can I get more information about other features of Procmail?
Try downloading the source and checking the accompanying documentation,
including the man pages. Also, see <http://www.procmail.org/> for links to
FAQs and such.
