You need of so-called "procmail" popular program on Linux. BTW, muLinux
mail system is really a rescue/hacking joke. Your idea is good in
a production environment, but in a little system as muLinux is, I am
just happy if email of some sort incoming!

I can add some rustic authentication, it's true, but this false
security is not so good idea, believe. Really, also the full Linuxes
are insecure in this sens: you can put on the PC the muLinux floppy,
to mount the root partition and to modify /etc/passwd!

!!! But this is the new "cron" feature in muLinux! The beep is a demo
(any 3 minutes). Edit the /etc/crontab and put a "#" in front the
relevant line.

Eccolo la', lo sapevo!
No. muLinux is mainly a client, also an SMB client, of course.
For this, we need of a full Samba installation.
