I've got a linux box and I'm trying to set something up where a wireless camera sends an email to an account on the server and when the account gets an email it runs a script to create a file on my box. This is all local within my network so I'm not worried about port 25 being blocked or any of that. I just need help figuring out how to set up the account and monitor it so when it gets a certain email it'll run a script.

I'm still pretty new at linux so I'd appreciate some direction. Even if you just have a few URLs for setting up a mail server and email account and one for monitoring them to run scripts. Thanks for any help.

You probably want to look at procmail, you can have it do pretty much anything when it processes email.
