This question is off topic, dovecot is not SMTP agent.
I have a wget script that fetches some pages, and, emails me the output, there is no paramters passed, it's all in the script I'll like to email in and action the script to get the results email
use procmail and possibly formail to execute anything and optionally reply the result
man procmailrc man procmailex man formail
make sure procmail is actually executed on your mail system. depends of your MTA.
Are you willing to recommend procmail without any warnings/disclaimers whatsoever?
