Maildrop should also work fine here if you prefer that. If your script
runs as a specific user, and that specific user doesn't get any other
mail, then a .forward file in that user's home directory could also be
used to pass mail to your script. If you want to use a .forward file,
then it would contain something like:

|/usr/local/bin/myscript

and the mail message would be passed to /usr/local/bin/myscript for
parsing. If the mails go to a virtual user, then you want to put a
file called .forward+virtualaddress in the virtual users directory
where virtualaddress is virtualaddress@example.com.
