How would I go about getting a script that would automatically foward something from an email to a website. I would like it to be a php script if possible. The problem is that a mentor for a group I am in emails everyone through yahoo groups and I have to manually copy and paste it into a site I have created. I am trying to get it so whenever an email goes to a specific email dedicated only for the yahoo group emails that it would automatically be added to my site which is in php.
