Re: Help: automated email forwarding similar to .forward

..forward is fine for that kind of thing, if you modify it to a pipe
where a perl skript reads from. Then pass the message throw it, while doing what ever you like with it - for example sleep(3600) in fork / or threaded spawn of you programm.

Hi folks,
I'm working on a project where I'm given a pool of users and I have to
determine if there are any messages in their spool files, and if so, forward
them on to a new user.
I'm looking for functionality similar to what you get with a .forward file,
only I don't want the messages forwarded as soon as they come in. Instead
the messages will be spooled normally and forwarded at some arbitrary time
in the future.
What I'm looking for is advice on what perl modules/documentation I should
be looking at and maybe ideas on an approach. So far I've looked at
Mail::Box::Manager, Mail::Sender, and Mail::MBoxParser, but they don't seem
to be able to do what I want.
Of course if I'm not seeing the forest for the trees and there's a simple
non-Perl solution anyone would care to share, that would be appreciated as
well.
Thanks All!
