Maybe you can fool the view functions by providing a request object
which simulates a call from the browser.  But if performance is not
an issue, I would create an intermediate program that takes all the
emails and spreadsheets and makes (possibly local) HTTP POST
requests on your server.

This is the way we do it here: A cronjob scans a shared directory
for new data regulary, and when it finds some, it sends an HTTP POST
to the web server, which runs on the same machine.

Tschö,
Torsten.
