Interesting web service

[Chuck]

This is how I have it set up.

I have a dot Mac account and set up a specific email for the HA system.

When an email comes in that has a key word in it Mail executes a  
script that does something. In my case it turns on a light since I am  
just testing it out. You can have different keywords for different  
situations. I am trying to do several commands in one email but can't  
seem to get that to work.

I am really poor at scripting and still working on this to get it  
working consistently. The reason I put this out there is to see if  
anyone else who is much better at scripting would get on the bandwagon.
