You can if the server has procmailrc.

Is this possible?

We have a SAS BI Enterprise and a big UNIX server.  Is it possible for
someone to email into the server and attach a CSV file say, and upon receipt
of the file the server goes 'Ah ha!' and kicks off a SAS job that rips out
the attached file and does something or other with it?

What needs to be done?

Many thanks.
