The Jakarta James project will do this for you. It's a full-featured mail server with
a pluggable email
processing API.

I don't know whether it would be possible or desirable to start such a 'heavy' process
(it listens on ports,
etc.) from within Turbine but integrating the two in other ways would be relatively
simple. You could, for
instance, process an email in James and send the result as an HTTP POST to a Turbine
action.
