That depends on your operating system, is your mailbox server also your workstation, etc. Generally, assuming your workstation is the same machine where Procmail is running, this is fairly trivial. You just need the "action" of your procmail recipe to include calling your sound player program, presumably telling it what sound file to play. You may have to monkey around with user/permissions a bit so that the user that's running the procmail script has permission to access your sound device. Presumably if procmail is being run as you, and you are logged into X windows, this is a non-issue as you will have permission to access the sound device. -- Andrew Edelstein - [email protected] https://andrew.pure-chaos.com/
