Execute a command every time a message is recieved

Hi,
I'm looking to write my own autoresponder system in php, my reason for
doing so is that I need to tie it in with our CMS. All I need postfix
to do is call a command line script every time one of our local mail
boxes recieves an email, I still want the email to go into the mail
box, I just need to pick up the reciepent address and the sender
address. For Example: "php /blah/mailmon.php ${sender} ${reciepent}" or
something to that effect. Picking up the user name of the sender would
be a nice touch as well.

Thanks in advance

You could tell postfix to use procmail as delivery agent. Procmail
would pipe (for example) all mails trough a perl script you wrote
(like the mechanism spamassassin uses) Maybe it's also possible to
tell procmail to export the adresses to variables that could be used
by your program.
