I wanted to know about some way that will enable me to run a script by
sending an email to the unix system (maybe admin).

Help appreciated.

Thanks

If you have the cooperation of somone with an account on the machine you
want to run the script then you can use procmail to do what you want.
If you don't then whatever you are up to I want no part in it.
