You could write a script to parse the email and do the update. It would come in on 'stdin'. See http://www.php.net/readline or http://www.php.net/fopen (search for 'php://stdin'). Alternatively, you could write a script to connect to a mailbox and do something, see http://www.php.net/imap . Depends on what you are trying to do really :)
