Does anyone know of any tools available to monitor and parse emails? Perhaps something the sourceforge, or even the this mail list uses to list subscribed lists etc???
Take a look at procmail. It's been around for ages and it's the tool of choice for email processing.
Here is an example procmail recipe that extracts information from a matching message and runs shell commands with this info: http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/info/proctips.html#setvar
