Re: [PLUG] Automating actions from email

Amul,

I have been using the lamson project from www.lamsonproject.org to automate email processes.  It's a python project that accepts email as a email automation server or it can read mail from a directory.  I use for:

	routing email after hours to the on call tech
	managing network devices via SSH 
	transforming email from alert mumbo jumbo to english and forwarding to the proper recipient

Subject: [PLUG] Automating actions from email

At work I get daily emails which I need to act on.  Is there a mechanism in any email client (I use alpine and thunderbird) that can recognize the email and invoke a shell script or another program?

thanks,
Amul
