[CODE4LIB] Email Forwards to Database

2013-05-08 Thread scott bacon
Just curious if anyone has any thoughts about this possibility (I already know it's not practical): Can I automatically forward to a database all emails sent to a specific email address? I've seen proprietary things like Email2DB, but is there a simple open source alternative? Background: At MPOW
