There are two options.
1) Have an existing MTA deliver the mail to your program as a local
file, or as a byte stream over a local IPC channel.
2) Have an existing MTA deliver the mail to your program over SMTP,
in which case you need to combine the MIME processor with an
SMTP engine (preferably one that already exists).
