Default Auto Admin for PBE?

After reading a thread about how a lot of people wanted to play a PBEM game but couldn't find someone willing to take the time/effort to host, I thought, an automated admin app would be great! Maybe one already exists, if so, even better.

Essentially, it would be an app running 24/7 on a machine that would at a given time fetch all the game related emails from players. It would then run Dom2 and process all the game data automagically. Once done, it could either post the next turn files to an ftp/http site, or email them back to the individual players. This way, the admin isn't burdened with very much at all, leading to more people willing to host big games. (the hope being 17 ppl games not being a rarity)

Good idea? Is there a demand for something like that?
