I'm using procmail to treat some incoming mails, and i'll never
though to use it to 'import' incoming mails into a database system,
but this is a very great idea... :-) Procmail is very easy to
use an to install. All the work is done by the script behind procmail.
So, with a bit of imagination (for the SQL script), this would'nt be
very hard to implement. I can provide you more info about procmail
(out of this mailing list, of course). Contact me if you want more
about this.
Thanks for your idea...!!! :-)
Cybersalutations.
