Question 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 Smilie
