Nagios Change Config via email

[Ron Wilson]

I would like to be able to disable nagios notifications by using email.

Situation is we are investing in automating patching of our servers. The
patching software can send an email out at the beginning of each server
patch and another at the end of patch

I want Nagios to be able to receive the email which would have something
like servername and stop en email subject line.

If I set up an inwards mail client on the nagios server which would
receive the email and drop it into a directory where Nagios would scan
it and disable alerting for the server. At the end of patching the patch
server will issue another email saying servername start and Nagios would
receive email and re-enable alerting

Anyone got any good ideas how to avhieve this?
