If I understand this, you want to accept emails that have embedded images, storing them in a directory that your web server can access to let you see the list and viw individual images.
- Email can be captured with a ~/.forward file containing '|executable_file', although this is not a well thought of aspect of sendmail, security-wise. Each arriving email goes to stdin of a separate process running executable_file, which can be a script or binary execuatble.
- Email is mime encoded, so you need something to take email files and locate the encoded image(s), decode it to binary and write it to a dir. Usually, images are base 64 encoded, but it depends on the email client, might be uucp encoded or raw binary.
- You need to devise a naming method.
- You need a web server allowing open directory listing or a web service to format the list into a web page where you can review the list and select images to view.
