The short answer is no, the long answer is still no. What you'll want to do is recieve mail normally and then check that mailbox with a php script. Make sure you have php-imap installed.

That's the conclusion I was coming too. So what is the best webmail server to install on Ubuntu. I am installing Courier right. Any suggestions.

Thanks,

You can receive emails to a PHP script using a pipe!

For example on our email servers we use OSTicket and have the following pipe setup:

support@domain.com -> |/usr/bin/php -q /home/domain.com/support/www/api/pipe.php

This is using exim MTA.
