[Dovecot] Running a script when a mail arrives

[Tom]

This sounds like a better task to do at the MTA level. I know Postfix 
has the capability to do such things. You can write a Perl script for 
example and make entries in the main.cf and/or master.cf files and 
postfix will pass the e-mail to that script during the rest of it's 
processing.
