Mail Attachment Extraction

[Saif]

I use sendmail in my Linux Mail Server (RedHat 9.0). I want to extract all incoming attachment of a particular e-mail account (like name@mydomain.com) to a folder (suppose /attachment).

Is there any body can help me to do so.

With thanks and regards

All the mails on GNU/Linux system are stored in /var/mail/[username] You can directly view the mails from there.   # less /var/mail/[username]
Otherwise if you are also having a pop3 server on the server, then i've written a script in python to extract mails from a pop3 server and save it into proper directories. It can be given as a cron job.

Thanks for your reply
In fact I want to extract attachment of a particular e-mail account and I need to share this in a Windows PC using Samba. Main point of consideration is that these extractions is used to operate some other system

I know with procmail it is possible but do not know how.
