Greetings,

A custom Perl script could be set up to run on messages sent to a certain address.  The messages could possibly additionally be forwarded to your mailbox as they are now.  Your web host would need to support email forwarding to CGI script such as used by the ListMail bounce.cgi process.

The script is not simple so I would need to charge around $100 for the service.  Email me at dean@... and/or set up a request with your site information.
