If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to send mails (containing 
certain instructions) to a server and have the instructions carried out?

This is certainly possible, most MTAs allow you to have addresses which 
executes programs whenever mail is delivered to them. Refer to your MTA 
documentation to see how such addresses can be setup then configure it 
execute your php script. The contents of the mail are usually made available 
on STDIN so your php script would have to read from STDIN and parse out the 
instructions. Then depending on what your instructions are you can use exec() 
and friends to execute them.
