        That would only pickup the first address on the line.  It's
also only going to pick up two level domains, e.g. foo.com but not
mail.foo.com, since \w+\.\w+ is actually going to give you mail.foo in 
that case.  It also would miss things like foo-bar.com (since - isn't
in the \w class).


perl -lne 'print $1 while /(\w+\@\S+\.\w+)/g' foo | sort -u


        Or if you want to eliminate the extra sort process:


perl -lne '$a{$1}++while/(\w+\@\S+\.\w+)/g;END{print for sort keys%a}' foo


        Of course the problem with this is that it'll tend to pickup
Message-Id's as well as addresses.  The best thing would probably be
to install the MailTools modules and use that to only pull out the
relevant interesting headers (To, From, Sender, Reply-To, et al).
MailTools is available from your friendly neighborhood CPAN mirror.
Run `perldoc Mail::Internet' and `perldoc Mail::Header' after
installing for more information.
