How can I program my own email server in PHP, that listens for email and forwa开发者_如何学编程rd the messages to a URL?

Is python more recommended for this?

Regards,

I suggest you to use an already developed email server software. There are some really well tested ones out there. You do not need to reinvent the wheel. Save you that trouble! You may use one of the following

• procmail
• sendmail
• there are so many other solutions out there (igor milla mentioned a wikipedia site which list more smtp servers)
