this is from one of the guys off the chicago perl mailing lists.

Code:
you might want to take a
look at Mail::Box [2] on CPAN. Once you've got installed you can interact with 
all sorts of mail folders (mbox, maildir, imap4, pop) with a common interface.

Assuming you've got an mbox format file at /home/bgates/mbox, you could:

    use Mail::Box::Mbox;

    my $folder = Mail::Box::Mbox->new( folder => '/home/bgates/mbox' );

    foreach my $msg ( $folder->messages() ) { 
	print $msg->body(),"\n";
    }

Lazy, and nice to read -- at least for me :) You can do all sorts of 
crazy stuff like deleting, modifying, searching. Well worth a look at
if you need to do lots of work with mail messages.

nullmailer-queue

nullmailer-queue(8)					      System Manager's Manual					       nullmailer-queue(8)

NAME

       nullmailer-queue - insert mail messages into the queue

SYNOPSIS

       nullmailer-queue

DESCRIPTION

       This program reads a formatted mail message from standard input and safely injects it into the outgoing mail queue.

       The data sent into standard input is expected to have the following format: one line containing the envelope sender, one or more lines con-
       taining the recipients, a single blank line, and then the contents of the message exactly as it is to be transmitted  to  the  destination.
       All lines are terminated with a single line-feed character.  All addresses must contain a fully-qualified domain name.

RETURN VALUE

       Exits 0 if it successfully queues the message.  If it failed to queue the message, it exits 1 and prints an error message to stdandard out-
       put.

CONTROL FILES

       adminaddr
	      If this file is not empty, all recipients to users at either "localhost" (the literal string)  or  the  canonical  host  name  (from
	      /etc/mailname)  are  remapped to this address.  This is provided to allow local daemons to be able to send email to "somebody@local-
	      host" and have it go somewhere sensible instead of being bounced by your relay host.

OTHER FILES

       /var/spool/nullmailer/queue
	      The directory into which the completed messages are moved.

       /var/spool/nullmailer/tmp
	      The directory in which messages are formed temporarily.

       /var/spool/nullmailer/trigger
	      A pipe used to trigger nullmailer-send to immediately start sending the message from the queue.

SEE ALSO

       nullmailer-inject(1), nullmailer-send(8)

LIMITATIONS

       This program should enforce system-wide configurable message length limits.
