Re: [exim] Automatically processing mail to a mailbox

Thanks for the replies, the idea of a system filter and a pipe seems the
most appropriate. I have never used procmail, I thought it was for
downloading from a mail server over pop3 and resubmitting to an smtp
server fro local delivery. As I run my own mail server, I'm not
immediately sure how I would use it.

The target for this is "free the postcode" which sends a confirmation
email each time a postcode location is uploaded. As these all point to a
specific domain with a generated random string, so checking the domain is
the one I expect before using wget will stop
the spam issue.

Anyway thanks for the ideas, it gives me some more reading to do.
