Check email and download attachment
Hi,
I had search the web for a script to download email, but failed to found one.
I need a bash or perl script that will check for email originating from an address such as john@rambo.com and download the .zip attachment into a specified folder.
Anyone could assist or give me some guide?
note: this script is not running on any mailserver, I need this script to run at a client and a cronjob will trigger it to run at the spesified time

script - make record of a terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename] DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS. The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it. NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts. ATTRIBUTES
