Re: How do I scan all root mail as it arrives w/ a script?
/var/mail/root
Scanning it is a simple matter.
cat /var/mail/root | grep -i error
This can be made more efficient, but its the basis for what you want to do.

Re: How do I scan all root mail as it arrives w/ a script?
In fact, there's a reasonably good spam filter called spambouncer that uses procmail rules.
Docs are reasonably good. If you need additional help with it, you can post a question to nntp:comp.mail.misc; however, there are quite a few trolls on that newsgroup so be aware of that up front.

Re: How do I scan all root mail as it arrives w/ a script?
alias_name : | "/fullpath/name options"
or as an example:
pagermail : | /root/bin/pagermail
NOTE: the script must be readable and excutable by the sendmail and rmail daemons. For testing, ehe message can be printed by simply putting a cat | lp in your script. The headers are always first and separated from the body of the message by a single blank line.
Debugging these types of scripts is interesting because there won't be any place for error messages to be viewed (other than mail.log) so I typically put debug messages into the script using logger and then look in syslog. Or you can send debug messages to a specific file.
