As I see it, we'll need to pass all incoming emails through a script and then send the text as a PM to the correct user (and send any incorrectly addressed mails to the admin).

The difficulty is making the script that the incoming emails are sent to. Mailing list programs like majordomo pass all incoming emails (to a certain address) through a script, so that it can subscribe and unsubscribe people from the lists.

This system would need server root access (as you'll have to modify sendmail's email routing for a particular domain).

The question I have is:
- What language do we have to program this script in? Because it's run by the server when an email is received, I don't know if we can do it in php.

Anyone any thoughts, or experience in this area?

If you have access to (or can have your webhost install) Procmail then it would not be hard at all to pass incomming email's to a php script.

I currently use procmail for a ton of things, and maybe after VB is out of Beta will look into creating what you all want. But according to the powers that be the PM part of VB has some major changes on the way so I don't want to create something now and then have to start all over every time a new beta comes out.
