another way to do it would be to pipe the mail into a spool area, something
like this - add the pipe handler stuff to the configure - in the aliases:
suggestions: | /usr/local/bin/spoolSuggestions
where the script spoolSuggestions looks like
date=`/usr/bin/date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`
cat > /var/spool/suggestions/received.$date
and then write another script to process the mail and remove all headers
etc, the script runs from cron... the advantage being that any logs become
inaccurate due to the time shift.
just my thoughts...
