Directing received email to a program can be done either with a sendmail alias
that pipes to a program or a procmail recipe, depending on whether the address
is a real system user or not.
If you want to program in perl, look at MIME::tools to parse the inbound copy's
body and attachments and perhaps Mail::Sender to reassemble and re-send.
