A definite newbie here. It was suggested on the General Board that I also post this here.
I was told that an application I am working on will be running on a Linux box. My need is to have an email server running on the box to accept emails from the field. The emails will have a .txt file attached that I need to filter to different directories based on the 'From' email address. I have no control over the email attachment files and they could possibly have duplicate names. So I also need to better understand how and where the attachments are initially stored as they come in and is there a chance of one file overwriting another if they have the same name.
I am investigating ProcMail as an option suggested in another post.
Does this sound doable? Can you point me to some resources?
Thanks so much!
