Thomas,
I think I would approach this with an Alias of the Program type, and then in
the program that runs when email reaches the alias, it would check the email
headers and body, and look for some very specific things and only when all
conditions are correct, allow the program to continue. You could look at the
return address (forgable), the IP of the sender (forgable), maybe even other
header info, then in the body, a very specific form, for the data it needs
to pass onward, and ONLY when all these things match, does the program
continue execution. I'd also put something in it to forward the orginal
email to another location (or write it to a log file), so you can check any
that do not 'match'.
A List does have some of the capablities (if it were private and subscribers
only) you are looking for, but you still need to 'get' that message and do
your domain creation.
Good Luck!
