I have tried "Fetchmail" to fetch the mail and "Procmail" to process the mail and then invoke custom python script to do my job. This is working fine, the only problem i think it has is fetchmail has to check the mailbox in every 10 seconds and deliver it to procmail...if somehow i can reduce the time or make something like whenever a mail is arrived at may mail it is delivered directly to "procmail" then it would be really helpful..
