1&2 look rather easy to implement:
Something like procmail to take email and run script on it. That script would parse email, take the body and either put it as dtml code or use as xml-rpc call or do something other

The thing that varies is the program that takes email one by one and, if some criteria fulfills, streams into stdin of the script. On unix box I would do that using 'procmail'. The script may be based on the example, given in XML-RPC HowTo. Aha, just've got the idea of how it might be done using Zope only. This would require product, that grabs mail from either local fs mailbox, pop or imap account (or any other source) and POST's (via http) email message to the prescribed Zope method. This method would do anything it wants with the message: stores it as dtml, uses it as xml-rpc call or pipes directly into /dev/null ;) JC> 3.

Sorry, don't get that. Can you explain further?
