You may find the following article interesting; http://www.evolt.org/article/Incoming_Mail_and_PHP/18/27914/ That said, you may be better offer handling the incoming mail with Perl, which has some useful CPAN modules such as Mail::Audit and you've got a better chance of finding Perl developers that can help you with this problem - see; http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/07/17/mailfiltering.html http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/search?query=Mail%3A%3AAudit&mode=dist Otherwise, you'd be loading the pages into Dokuwiki via the command line. There's this script to provide an interface for updating pages via the CLI : http://dev.splitbrain.org/view/darcs/dokuwiki/bin/dwpage.php - you could call this from Perl. Might also be interesting for users to be able to "check out" a page for editing by sending an email. Send an email containing the right subject and get back the wiki page for editing.
