+1 I experienced procmail and worked like a charm for me, in a case like yours. My script was parsing emails to grab some URIs of binary objects and queue them to be processed later. You can easily trigger a python script and do whatever you need in that script. If it is a long term process, you should just parse email and use queues for the rest. -- -- Ali Rıza Keleş -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
