Forward the e-mail address to a PHP file, through forwarders in your system
(depends on the mta, how and where)
Than design a php file to read from php://stdin
It will read the mails once they are received.

Subject: [PHP] PHP and connection to mail account


Dear All.

Do u know if its possible with PHP to receive a mail or connect to a
mail box and do something with an incomming email ? I see there is that
imap_open() but also there are sockets.

Basically I need to connect to a mailbox and then when a mail is
received it must take that mail and do something with the attachment
which I know how to do and is not important to this question.

Please maybe advise as to what the best way is and also if you have
experienced difficulties with a certain way.

Thanks in advance.
