[Phpwm] Getting mail into a mysql database

[Mike Tipping]

I'm really after something that happens automatically, kicked off by the
mail server rather than on a crontab.

I seem to remember you can get postfix? To run a pearl script when it
receives a message. Does anyone know anything similar in PHP?
