    Both PHP and Ruby have an IMAP class to interact with mailboxes, see http://php.net/manual/en/book.imap.php and http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/imap/rdoc/classes/Net/IMAP.html . – Bjorn Jan 09 '11 at 23:29

You can configure postfix to send incoming mails to a certain script that parses it and stores data in your database:

How do I painlessly receive mail in linux and feed it to Rails?

This way you can easily create your own scripts that handle incoming emails
