Hey guys,
I am looking for a script or porgram I can implement on my server (linux) that will recieve a email, and if certain fileds or keywords are found in the email it will take those key words (like a billing addy, name, item #, etc.) and put them in a new email and send it to a diffrent email address.

Anyone know if such a tool exists....and where I can find it.

Thanks!

The word is E-P-I-P-H-A-N-Y

Is this some SPAM scheme ?

You'd have to build something like that, since you want different information sent to different email addresses.

I don't think he's spamming, based on the "keywords" he mentioned (billing address, etc.) It just seems like email direction based on the type of email it is.

Funny, when I saw the title I was thinking of the web browser, lol.

This seems like a good task for the email server to do.
In my case I use the Apache James email server, I write mailets to automate similar types of tasks, filter spam, etc...

However, if you are using a remote mailserver that you can't mod settings or run software on, you might want to take a look at mutt.
Mutt is available for every linux distro, and you can use it in your shell scripts. So, in your case, use mutt to get the mail, grep to check for existence of fields, sed/awk/perl to create your new mail from the original, and of course, and sendmail to send it.
Toward the bottom of this page there are some links to various scripts using it
http://www.mutt.org/links.html
THis will return lots of info as well
