We are setting up a system that will allow our news transcript provider to
ftp copies of transcripts to our ftp server which is located outside of our
firewall. The ftp server (Unix) will then make a backup copy of the message
and e-mail the original to our IMail server inside of the firewall. (The
transcript provider prefers ftp over internet mail as it's a more reliable
method of delivering the transcripts to us and they are penalized for each
one the don't deliver. The downside is that we don't permit incoming ftp
through our firewall). I will then have a POP client running on a third NT
server running a custom application retrieve the mail message from the IMail
POP server and place it into a directory on the NT box to be parsed by the
custom application into a transcripts database. Hence, I'm looking for a POP
client that is as unobtrusive on the NT box as possible (i.e. no DLL's in
the system32 directory as the custom app is very temperamental about such
things). The only requirements for the POP client are that it be able to
automatically log into the IMail box at predefined intervals (say every 5
minutes or so) and retrieve any mail sitting there. All this unattended and
automatic. There are a lot of different POP clients out there so any
suggestions as to one that fits this need would save me some time in
installing, blowing up the custom app, reloading, installing, reloading,
etc..
Thanks
