Create a Catchall Email Address That Adds To Database

Hi all,

 

I'm wondering if anyone can provide some direction (or recommend a good tutorial) on creating a catchall (not sure if this is what it's actually called) that can add information to a database.

 

For example, a user is sending an email to a client and decides to cc: "[email protected]"

 

When received, this would add the text to a database that could be saved

 

 

Any ideas on how to implement this?

 

Thanks.

catchalls are a bad idea, they are basically a trash can for spammers to send to.

 

With that being said if I understand your correctly you want to update a database when an email is received.

 

This could possibly be accomplished depending on the mail program that is receiving the message, how mail is being checked etc etc.  If you were to write your own custom PHP script that acts as a web based mail client (difficult) you could add a call to make that database update but I don't see how it could be done using a pop3 client like Outlook.
