[Lazarus] processing incoming mail

[duilio foschi]

in this article

http://www.thecodingmachine.com/triggering-a-php-script-when-your-postfix-server-receives-a-mail/

somebody shows a way to run a PHP script when the mail server (postfix in
this case) receives a mail.

Cant the same be done with a FPC console application ?

Thank you

Peppe

You should define a filter for your MTA. The filter is then a program you
write, and this program can do whatever it wants. It will need to report
back to the MTA. Usually some pre-defined exit codes are used for this.

I don't think CGI is an option for such a system.
