E-Mail Program

Description:

This program connects to POP3 server and checks the mail sitting in the mail box. Then each message header and body can be parsed as per the requirement.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Net::POP3;

# Connect to pop3 server
my $pop3 = Net::POP3->new("10.10.10.10") || die "Error : Couldn't log 
+on to server";

# Login to pop3 server
my $Num_Message = $pop3->login("dummy", "dummy");

my $Messages = $pop3->list();

my ($MsgId, $MsgDate, $MsgFrom, $MsgTo, $MsgCc, $MsgSub);
my ($MsgAttach, $MsgSize, $MsgHeader, $MsgHeadFlg, $MsgBody);

foreach $MsgNo (keys %$Messages)
{
  my $MsgContent = $pop3->get($MsgNo);
  my $count = 0;

  $MsgBody = "";
  print "Message No : $MsgNo\n";

  $MsgSize = $pop3->list($MsgNo);
