Hi guys,
Is it possible to play a soundfile when procmail encounters mail from a
certain
e-mail address?
Yep, it's quite easy. On the tried period of time that I was running
postfix/procmail on my OIS System I had a recipe that looked something like
this on my personal account. I set UNAME by indexing the CLEANFROM against a
whitelist local file.

# This is a non-delivery recipe
:0
* CLEANFROM ?? $UNAME
{ DUMMY=`/usr/bin/say "New mail has arrived from $UNAME" -v Alex -r 255` }
Of course, the command that you use will vary by OS, but it really is that
simple. The hard part was building UNAME, which I did with a local file that I
edited manually when I wanted notifications from a person.
But the experiment of running postfix and procmail on OS X was short-lived, and
my servers are miles away, so sound playing would be rather silly at this point.
You can do pretty much anything you want in a recipe, and executing it from a
fake variable assignment avoids a lot of issues.
