I've done this using qmail which is installed on my ISP's server.
I had to set up a qmail file named like this and dropped into my root:
.qmail-allan
Where allan is the email address that the emails are coming into (i.e
[EMAIL PROTECTED])
This file must contain a pipe to the script in this form:
|/home/yourdirectory/script.php
And that's it the email is now sent to the script.
To pick up the email being sent to the script you use something like the
following:
$fp = @fopen("php://stdin", "r"); //This removes the message from
the stream
while (!feof($fp)) {
$incoming .= fgets($fp, 4096);
} // end while
fclose($fp); // closes stream
At the end of this $incoming will contain the email
How you parse the email is another can of worms.
