Is there a way to execute a script via email? I have a machine that does

to send an email back to execute a script to perform tasks.
Is there an easy way to do this?
I'm not sure about the "easy" part, but take a look at procmail and its
recipes.
I don't use it, but the utility ingests mail, analyzes it, and then
"takes an action" which is generally just a routing of some sort.
There shouldn't be any reason why you might be able to trigger a script
instead.
