Hello,
I am very new to the world of linux. I am trying to develop a website, for which I need a functionality wherein...If some one mails me on my email id { list @ my_website.com }. I want to instantly push that whole message into databse table (MYSql). Eventually I want my web page to show a report with (email)messages inside.

My questions are
1) What are my options ?

2) I came to know that DBMail is the easy option for my requirement, since it uses database internally to store messages. Is this correct ?

Thanks
Nil
 
dbmail is pretty nice. You could also use procmail and a small program to evaluate the message and put it in a database, if you need a different format.
