The use case is my home-grown quarantining system. Mail server periodically
emails me about quarantined emails - I can reply to these emails using
short codes, this reply is placed by postfix in the monitored $MBOXFILE.
When $MBOXFILE changes, incrond triggers a script which looks at the latest
email in it and interprets it to take the necessary actions i.e. removing
unwanted mails from quarantine, releasing wanted ones, whitelisting sender
etc.
You can run script at the time of mail delivery by using .forward that pipes
mail to a script. You don't need to watch file for changes.
