I think procmail (http://www.procmail.org/) may do thejob for you.

In particular, this set of procmail scripts looks very cool:

I personally find writing procmail receipes is about as fun as sticking toothpicks under my fingernails, so finding pre-made stuff like that is cool.

I found most of the stuff I use in my .procmailrc by searching google for linux procmail

I didn't find that one, though. Thanks! :cool:

I suggest maildrop -> http://www.flounder.net/~mrsam/maildrop/ over procmail. Though, it depends on how much you know about regular expression. Procmail has more docs all over the web and is easier to configure. Maildrop claims to be more efficient (less memory used) and more robust.

I wouln't open any email attachments! Just setup an upload script on your web server for your friends to send you files?
