Yeah...I've already got stuff like this: Return-path: /ding-request@ifi\.uio\.no/i { ASSIGN list gnu/emacs/ding; SAVE +%#list; REJECT -t ListUpdate; }; # Update some external files & such { PERL /homes/scott/var/mailagent/ListUpdate %#list; }; which all runs in the same perl process. My plan was to update my ListUpdate perl script to update NOV files too (right now it just makes sure that the list is in my ~/Mail/.folders file), but I haven't gotten around to setting things up to read the mailing lists from ding yet. BTW, the perl process that does this doesn't happen at sendmail-delivery time. With mailagent, my .forward file runs a "filter" program that basically just drops the message into a queue directory that gets processed by a different program (i.e. "mailagent") that gets kicked off by "filter" every so often. That way the MTA is waiting for "me" to decide what to do with each & every message.
