My opinion is that the CFSCHEDULE method is going to be the best. Not many
POP servers are going to have the ability to perform a command when a
message is received, which is what you are saying you'd like to do. I had
great luck with creating a script that ran every 15 minutes and checked
mailboxes for content and then acted on them. It never seemed to tax the
server and the volume ranged from 10-15 per day up to 200-250 per day. My
one caution is to make sure you consider ALL of the possible results in
contents of the message, i.e., looking for the subject, the body, certain To
or From, etc.

Subject: Automatically Processing Email in CF
Hi,
I've got an unresolved question regarding e-mail processing. Does anyone
know how to set up a particular POP3 mailbox so that every time it receives
a message a particular ColdFusion script is executed?
Some individuals suggested (at Allaire's discussion forum) the use
CFSCHEDULE/CFPOP to schedule CF to check POP3 mailbox periodically as the
only way. I'm not convinced. Besides that unnecessarily uses up system
resources especially if that mailbox receives only a few messages a day. If
I'm on a shared virtual hosting plan is there anyway I can specially
configure the mail server to monitor for incoming email and then run the CF
script?
Thanks in advance.
