what should i use?good day pros,
i would like to make a sample program that will act as a report service... if someone sends a request via email the system will receive the mail and sends back a respond with an attached pdf report file from a report server depending on the parameter given on the subject line from the sender or requester.. what sould i use for this mail service? should i use pop/smpt mail client? or are there any other way? i would like to use vb6 or vb.net 2003 as frontend. thanks in advance, VB Newbie I've done something like this in the past. I set up a generic SMTP server
that accepted incoming emails. It did not route these to a mailbox, but put them in a specified directory. My app watched the directory for these ".eml" files to be created (or use a timer to check periodically). Parse the files for return email address and subject line. Use the VB SmtpMail class for sending the response back.
