Hi, (first : receiving mail sounds like desktop oriented, but no, in this case this is true server oriented) I'm looking for way to have my server checking a mail box every x mn (cron style) and extract attachment from mails and put them in a specified directory. I have looked after several mail clients and utilities like mutt fetchmail procmail etc but I didn't found any answer. Basically the mails will have a xml style file attached that need to be put in a directory for processing. I've been looking for a month now and still can't find any solution. If you have one, I'd like to know about it Thanks, Thomas
Maybe you can find some PHP scripts that do that for you here: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/class/2.html E.g. this class looks promising: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2964.html
you can use munpack to extract attachments from single emails. If you are using Qmail maildir style mailboxes, then you can run a cron script over the relevant maildir directories. If you are using mbox, then you will need to convert it to maildir format first. Alternatively, you can simply pipe incoming emails from your MTA through procmail, call munpack from there, and bounce the old messages through your MTA again.
