Re: [GENERAL] Getting input from email...

I do something of that sort right now to support an email notification
service. Rather than use Procmail, I use scripts written in Perl which
accept a message, parse it up using the Mail::Internet and
Mail::Address modules, and then insert it into the database. Works
like a charm.
