No secret, just use (for sendmail or qmail) an alias to pipe the email to
the script. For example, I use this to feed incoming mails to Mhonarc to
create an archive:
einet:"|/usr/local/bin/mhonarc -add -rcfile
/usr/local/etc/mhonarc/einet.mrc -out
dir /usr/local/apache/htdocs/einet"
all on one line of course; under sendmail that goes in the /etc/aliases
file, then you run newaliases to build the alias database.
