What about turning on SMTP on the ColdFusion box. Then auto forward the e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or whatever your intranet uses).
Then all e-mails (for the server) will go into an incoming mail directory. Point CF at that directory and process the e-mails as text files. Bypasses the whole pop3/imap. It should also take care of the firewall, etc problems if the server is on the same intranet. Lastly, you could tell the person sending the e-mail so sent it to the e-mail address above (that you chose) and it will go directly to the server. No need to deal with exchange at all. Steve -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 2:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Can I do this - Receive an e-mail with ColdFusion. I'm looking at a requirement to have a ColdFusion process monitor an email box and trigger an action when a specific email is received. The trouble I foresee is that the box is on an MS Exchange server and thus is not a POP account. Is there any easy way for ColdFusion to monitor a box on an Exchange server or to configure a single exchange account to be POP? Any other Ideas on how I might tackle this requirement? -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
