if you can modify the alias in sendmail for this email address, this
should get you started.
#!/usr/bin/perl
# mailbot.pl
$debug =1;
#invoked from /etc/aliases like this
#mailbot: [EMAIL PROTECTED], "|/home/cgalpin/bin/mailbot.pl"
open (LOG, ">/tmp/mailbot.log" ) if $debug;
print LOG "Got Message.\n" if $debug;
while(<STDIN>) {
# do something useful here
print LOG $_ if $debug;
}
exit 0;
