Well, no, DB
Mark,
Databases are not e-mail handlers, so the basic answer is no.
However, it's possible to have the e-mail handlers update a database
record -- I've seen it done with exim (but don't ask me how!)

Hi Mark,
You will need to setup a processing script on your mailer that will do
that for you. Your ISP maybe able to set this up for you. Most mailers
use the aliases file for that. A quick google found this as an example,
yes it is talking to Oracle but the principles are exactly the same.
