The right time to trigger an automated response to incoming mail is when 
that mail is received.

Have you looked at procmail?  It may be available to you already, as 
several Linux distros use it as their mail delivery agent.  In addition to 
mail delivery (and as its original purpose), however, it is supposed to be 
able to process incoming mail on users' behalf and perform more or less 
arbitrary operations on it, such as running it into scripts.  And if you 
want to keep HyperMail, then perhaps you could hook in procmail in front of 
it to process incoming messages first, then hand them off.
