Hi guys,
Is it possible to play a soundfile when procmail encounters mail

The \< isn't literal open bracket, it's regexp for "character before
or after a word, and of course, the above could be simplified to more
specifically what you asked for:
# this doesn't copy the message, so it effectively gets tosssed when invoking
# the sound player.

* ^From:.*\<some_address@domain\.tld

YOU need to find a suitable audio player. It's an exercise for you
to resolve hardware permissions (can your user account play sound, or
only root?)
