This program can do what you are asking and a whole lot more. I use it to handle the various mailing lists that I belong to. The mail from each mailing list is automagically undigested and stored in it's own folder. I also use mailagent to autoreply to messages from our web server forms. Requires perl be available on your system. Tom Schenk
