While this can be done with php (either with al's suggestion or with any of the freely available mime decoders) i feel you would be better off doing this at a lower level. Since you run an ISP you might be using qmail, there are loads of good suggestions for spam filtering in the qmail lists.
all the best

I run a small ISP and am looking at ways to automate grabbing the headers from email. I currently copy all email to a BSD box, then use Pine in header mode to get the IP addresses from which I build my spam filters.
A search did not yield much in what I am trying to do: 1)Open the mailbox and extract the Received, From and Subject headers. 2)Drop those into a database that I can manage from the browser.
Sounds simple enough and I am sure I am making it harder than it really is, but if you know of a project please let me know.
Thanks!
