I have found a filter.pl script that i wanted to use to perform some tasks on netmail, but i can't understand how this is called (do i need to insert the file path in some configuration file?

the filter should simply copy netmail messages directed to my node in another area

thx in advance

Yes, you have to use this:
HptPerlFile /path/to/filter.pl

That should be included in hpt already.

Maybe some of this keywords will fit your needs:

* CarbonAddr:: make carbonCopy using from address of msg
* CarbonAndQuit:: carbon message only one time
* CarbonCopy:: specify the area where the carbon copies go into
* CarbonDelete:: specify that the carbon msg should be deleted
* CarbonExcludeFwdFrom:: exclude " * Forward from area " string
* CarbonExtern:: specify the external program to pass msg text to
* CarbonFrom:: make carbonCopy using from-field of msg
* CarbonFromArea:: carbon messages from area
* CarbonGroups:: make carbonbonCopy from this groups
* CarbonKeepSb:: keep seen-by's and path
* CarbonKludge:: make carbonCopy using kludge lines of msg
* CarbonMove:: specify the area where the carbon msg get moved * CarbonOut:: carbon outgoing messages
* CarbonReason:: string of carbon copy reason
* CarbonRule:: how to combine Carbon expressions
* CarbonSubj:: make carbonCopy using subject-field of msg
* CarbonText:: make carbonCopy using text-field of msg
* CarbonTo:: make carbonCopy using to-field of msg
* ExcludePassthroughCarbon:: don't carbon in passthrough areas
* NetmailExtern:: specify the external Program to pass netmail

Just to repeat a last year example from Fabio:

# Carbon Copy Personal Netmail
CarbonFromArea NetMailArea
CarbonRule AND
CarbonTo Fabio Bizzi
CarbonRule NOT
CarbonFrom Areafix
CarbonRule NOT
CarbonFrom ALLFIX+
CarbonRule NOT
CarbonFrom Filefix
CarbonCopy Personal

NetMailArea is the name of the netmail and Personal an existing target area.
