Analyse incoming emails

    I am seeking to create an application that mines data from received emails. Is there a way so that everytime an email is received to a specific email address it executes a php script processing the body? If not, is there a solution to access the emails body that just runs on a cron job?

    Thanks in advance

    hi,
    i think you need to set up a cronjob which executes a php script. this script can check a pop3 server every 5 minutes and parses the received mails.

    to execute a script if a mail receives needs deeper changes in the mailserver configuration i think...
