It is possible to send mail to an email address and have it processed by a script. It depends on your mailserver, eg with sendmail you can its alias mechanism, with qmail you can use dot-qmail files.

RE: [PHP] Uploading changes via Email
The database is an access db but all I want to do is upload it, but check first wether it is newer or not. I plan to have the email automatically sent each day but only upload it if it is newer. All I am trying to do is bypass the ftp part which I cant do. Is there a reference on how to pull out the email from qmail? I am new to this concept. -Original Message- From: Jason Wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 13 December 2002 10:14 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Uploading changes via Email On Friday 13 December 2002 17:17, Roke, Ian wrote: Hi there people, I am currently working on a database front-end for a company database and I would like to know if it would be possible to email access.db to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a script would be run on it to save it over the top of the database that is already on the server (and a few little tweaks as well) instead of having to manually upload seeing as ftp connections are not allowed.
