Weird! I just got back on this list by accident last night and I just happen to 
be writing one of these this moment.

The general scheme is:

-Create a mail alias that points to a PHP cli script.

-Write a script that parses out the DB stuff you need etc. (How hard can that 
be!?)

No need for cron or anything unless you expect heavy traffic and need to manage 
a queue.

It is a really cool feature. Next I need to handle attachments.

Google has some good stuff on this.

Good luck, Phred
