You might get good clues by examining the phorummail.php file in the Phorum.org forum script in their scripts directory of their tarball. http://www.phorum.org/ As I recall, it is meant to be passed email messages via .forward or something like that. It then looks at the mail contents and deals with it accordingly. Phorum is a MySQL thing so I assume they write the data to the database. Note that this file is meant to run like a typical shell script with this in the first line: #!/usr/local/bin/php -q Thus, you must have a compiled php executable in /usr/local/bin or whereever you keep your favorite programs. Just compile PHP with no parameters in ./configure and it should make a php binary perfect for use as a shell program tool. The "-q" turns off header generation I think making php a very suitable progamming language.
