| If your in control of the server I would install maildrop and then just filter out your supplier eMails.
You can then pipe this into a script (such as PHP) and perform what ever actions you need to.
However if your not in control of the servers MTA you will probably need to use something like a php IMAP class to fetch the eMail and attachements, then perform the saving etc...

| Thanks for your response.
I don't control the server I am afraid, My host is Siteground.
So I gather it will be a dev for sure then.
Thanks for the advice.
Regards,
Mark

| You don't have to use a Dev, have a look at a class like this one:

| Are you familiar with PHP ?
I didnt get exactly what you are trying to do but the function copy() will help you.
