Sorry, though I have had such systems working in the past, I  have 
nothing current. Packages to look at for building-blocks include mpack 
and mencoder, and of course perl and associated modules.

For the procmail part you want to search the man-pages for how to make a 
copy of incoming mail (for backup), and then piping the mail through a 
script, possibly conditional on a mime header. Like I said, such 
solutions get painful in the long run, so this is my last word on the 
subject. :-)
