you might start with
man forward
" Commands
|command
If the first character of the address is a vertical bar (|),
sendmail(1M) pipes the message to the standard input of the
command the bar precedes.
"
hence your code would be getting the 'pipe' from sendmail
on STDIN....
so you're in for the basic
while(<STDIN>) {
# grovel through the email message
# get what you want out of it
# also should note any spam sent this way to
# counter spam them.... so as to prevent webCrawlers
# and spamBots from autoTicking your project..
}
# based upon validation of a legitimate email
# execute your reality space here.....
or some such thingie...
