Procmail and the program he wrote are not exclusive - he can simply ask his program to run "procmail" on the new mail, instead of calling sendsms directly, and then use procmail to run sendsms only on mails matching certain criteria. Or he could write those matches in Perl directly. In any case, since he only spent a few hours on this script, *and* learned Perl in the process, I don't see any reason to disparage him for having reinvented the wheel. > Not only that, do you *really* need or want your cell phone to beep > for every odd email, including spam, that arrives in your mailbox? I get about 200 emails a day, around 50 of which are spam. Only about 5-10 of those 200 emails get declared "important" enough to be sent to my cellphone. I'm sure that Tzahi will soon find the need to do the same himself. -- Nadav Har'El | Wednesday, Aug 13 2003, 15 Av 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |An error?
