Email Server to only handle inbound messaging and routing

Question

Was hoping for some ideas as to a service to which I can set up an inbound-only email system. In other words, I will have multiple users on the system, each can receive their own email... but at the moment... at this time, I am not focused on the ability to send or reply to messages, only receive them and send to the appropriate user. I looked into Postmark... They seem to have some great functionality.

CloudMailin Is another alternative. However there are effectively three options for setting up something like this.

• Use an existing, traditional, email server and poll for the emails
• Setup your own email server and create a script to run when you receive an email
• Use a third party solution, as you've already mentioned.

I went through for of these for Rails a little while back here, but all the information is still relevant.
