Email-to-cgi gateway

This advanced option allows users to forward incoming email to a Perl script, enabling you to completely customize and/or automate the processing of incoming email. Email which arrives to a particular address will be sent to a Perl script using the POST method. The option is only available to CGI-enabled accounts. For example:

yourchoice@yourdomain.com -> http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/parse_email.pl

The email-to-cgi gateway is commonly used to create custom autoresponders, to create email tracking systems, or in any other situation in which a custom action must be taken when email is received.
