Ah in this case there is likely a list manager application that monitors at the service level or even built into the mailserver application. It knows when an email comes into the system and that's what fires it off. What we would doing in this case is simulating that by simply running a scheduled task every X minutes and does the same thing. It depends on how close to real-time you need. We usually run the task every 5 minutes in the case of a ticket system. It parses the email, puts it into a database and fires off replies to the user with a ticket number for reference.
Hope this helps.

Do I have to load some automated feature? For instance, when I reply to this email, how does the website know? I'm not hitting a cfm page - so how does the cfpop get run? That's what I am having a difficult time understanding. - N ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Newbie/message.cfm/messageid:3137 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Newbie/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.15
