Hi

A few years ago, here in house , we have discussed shortly the possibility to react for some incoming mails, but all the problems with security , SPAM etc persuaded us not to go in this way.

many of our batch jobs take their input from data sent us by means of e-mail 
attachments.
Attachments are manually stored on PCs, uploaded to z/OS, then batch starts. 
This is obviously
a manual and error prone process. Therefore I ve been asked to see if it's 
possible to setup z/OS
in order to receive and handle e-mails and their attachments which will 
eventually feed our batch.

Having already SMTP for outbound e-mails, I started from it and, thanks to 
Steve Comstock's SMTP
saga on ibm-main, I've been able to set it up to receive e-mails. But the TSO 
RECEIVE seems not
to be able to handle attachments,unless I missed something.

Before reading the many publication on this matter, I would like to ask what 
would you recommend
for this goal. SMTP or sendmail ? Any other valid ISV alternatives ? Any pointer to publications/Redbooks which would help ?
Your input is highly appreciated.
