One time I came across a $20K product that did just that.
People could fill in an email msg "form", with a password in the
body, and send it to an "obscure role" address and the data went
into the database if the password was ok. They could also submit
database queries, and get results by email. Very cool, except for the price.
Ideally, the email-database-Bot should send a confirmation msg to to
the submitting email box before committing the data to the database,
like signing up for a list + confirmation. Clearly, security is a
big issue with for databases controlled by insecure email or
unauthorized users.
