[comp.mail.misc] Perly mail filters

According to eastick@me.utoronto.ca (Doug Eastick):
>Ok JAPHs, what do some of you use to filter your incoming mail?

A program I wrote, called Deliver.  It allows users to write scripts,
called "deliver files," to control mail delivery.  When the scripts
run, the message header and body have been separated into two files,
the names of which are in the environment.  The output of the script
is a list of addresses and/or mailbox files that should receive the
message after all.

I wrote my system-wide delivery file in Perl, because it does
complicated things with a Micnet (ugh) network.

The current version, Deliver 2.0 PL13, is available at finer archive
sites everywhere (as soon as Rich posts patch #13).
