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

I assume the email is sent to a specified email and there is a CRON JOB that runs a PHP script to query and parse the new emails and insert them in to DB.
