Weird! I just got back on this list by accident last night and I just happen to be writing one of
these this moment.
The general scheme is:
-Create a mail alias that points to a PHP cli script.
-Write a script that parses out the DB stuff you need etc. (How hard can that be!?)
No need for cron or anything unless you expect heavy traffic and need to manage a queue.
It is a really cool feature. Next I need to handle attachments.
Google has some good stuff on this.
Good luck, Phred
