Start scheduled tasks by sending an email

[teognost]

I have on a build machine some scheduled tasks running our builds (VBP).
I received the task to study if it is possible to start these scheduled tasks just by sending an email to a specific address with specific words in subject (type of build,branch or trunk ,etc).Maybe someone else did this before and have an idea how to achieve this ?
