Among other approaches you can consider using your scripting language of
choice (Python, Perl, et al). You can create an alias so that your
MTA/MDA pipes all messages to a certain user (maybe
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) through your script. At least in Postfix this is
done by making the alias entry something like
packages: "|/usr/bin/packagetracker"
Your script will parse the message and query your database server, and
will also handle sending off the reply by email using your MTA. Python
and Perl, at least, have a lot of tools buist in or available as modules
to do all these component tasks.
If you wish to pursue this project using Python feel free to join us in

concerns.
