I have the following scenario:
Users send email messages to the special mail addresses (each address is associated with a user). When the message arrives to the server I need to extract a certain information from the message body and store it in the database.
I am looking for a mail server (or client) that matches following conditions:
- Free/open-source
- Users/inboxes can be created/deleted via some API on the fly
- Works in unix/mac environment (Ubuntu/MacOS X in my case)
- Allows me to set up hooks on message queue (via API or receive the data via some I/O channel)
- Has good performance and/or scalability potential
- Does not have a dependency on Java or other heavy framework.
Note that I do not need a full-fledged mail server i.e. all I need is messages processing.
