It is a mail filter.
We use it heavily to automatically process incomming messages which are
designed to send/receive structured information from one computer to another.
For example, I wouldn't be suprised if the InterNIC uses it to process
their domain name registration messages (if you have ever registered a
domain name, you know you must send a structured email message to the
InterNIC).
