great.

If you want to split messages in a mailbox, there's of course 'formail'
which is part of procmail.

cat largembox|formail -ds <executable>

so for example:

cat largembox|formail -ds dbmail-smtp -u username -m mailboxname

formail will do all kinds of neat stuff like fixing broken mailboxes.

However, if you want to search an mbox for messages that match a regex,
use grepmail:

Description: search mailboxes for mail matching an expression
 Grepmail looks for mail messages containing a pattern, and prints the
 resulting messages. Usage is very similar to grep. It can handle
 compressed mailbox files, and can search the header or body of emails.
 It also supports searches constrained by date and size.
