You'd need to put the Approved: <password> as its own header, or as
the first line of the body of the message.

There's not an API that I know of, but you can call the command-line
tools using php's exec(). You'd need to be very careful, though, since
you'll be execing something that includes a user's input; you need to
be extremely careful to prevent them from being able to run arbitrary
commands.


P.S., please include the list in all replies.
