is it possible to 'program' procmail to receive e-mail (with 
defined keywords and password in it) and automatically 
backup/overwrite/update files on web host?

Yes. The general mechanism is

  :0:
  * conditions (regular expressions to match in the header, prototypically)
  | shell commands to execute if conditions match

The shell command receives the mail message on standard input. See the
manual for details (or look only a few messages backward in the
archive for this mailing list). 

Hope this helps,
