Why the choice to have them send them to you as email attachments
as opposed to providing an upload page?  Just curious...

Subject: Send a photo as email attachment to a CF app

Hi, I'm looking for a "better" solution for following scenario: I have a
series of people sending photo's as email attachment to a mailbox. My CF app
pops the mailbox on a regular base and processes the photo's into a online
overview (photo blogging). Doesn't really sound as an odd scenario does it? 

Currently I'm using CFX_POP3 since CFPOP contains bugs (is that utf-7
problem still unsolved?), but CFX_POP3 crashes (auto restart) my server on a
regular base. Not something I can't control, but not ideal either.

I would prefer a solution that injects the photo into my CF app directly,
not going through the mailbox and CFPOP/CFX_POP3, but don't know if that is
a workable scenario. I was thinking about a event gateway type and sure, the
"SocketGateway" should be able to do it, but I'm not that good with pure
Java, so basically I want to know if

a) such a event gateway doesn't already exist
b) there is another solution to this problem

I appreciate your thoughts on the subject.

Ivo
