Some registries (ccTld ones) still work with an e-mail system to register domain names with them. Sending such an e-mail, properly formatted, from a web page (using asp or some scripting language) is no problem. However, how can the response e-mail be treated? According to the response, some scripts need to run/ some sql tables updates etc. How can one do this in ASP(.NET) with SQL Server and/or in PHP with Mysql on Linux? Anyone did this kind of stuff before?

I think you are referring to registries like co.uk which are PGP email based. This would be better moved to a different forum

A simple solution would be to run a crontab which will check e-mails and then process them.
