I'll be happy to give you the PHP example once I get it working. Where can I see the .asp example? Also, I wasn't able to register the cfx_imsmail.dll, I imagine that there's a different one for the COM object than the cfx. I couldn't find one on the web page or in the ftp directory, where does one get the COM version of imsmail?
And I'd like to put in a request for a COM version of the mime decoder. Spam and viruses are overwhelming me now, so my plan is to do a lot more parsing and checking before delivering the mail. Question: what is the overhead implication calling a web page (a .cfm page) to do the mime decoding? In other words, if I didn't use the COM object but instead just made a call from within the php page to http://domain.com/cfx/imsmail.cfm?smtpto=xx&smtpfrom=xx&emailfile=xx&header_ list=xx I could translate each of the query string parameters into parameters to the cfx tags. Obviously, there's the overhead of calling a web page, but if it's on the same network (or even the same machine), maybe this is not such a bad approach? Also, is the mime decoder thread-safe? Obviously, if I were to use this method I'd need to pass back the results to the calling routine, possibly as an XML blob. I imagine that this could be a lot of overhead, expanding out the body in text and html, but maybe it's not too bad. But then again, maybe calling a COM object would be more efficient and less error prone. Sorry for the rambing. I look forward to getting the imsmail COM object working in PHP and letting everyone see the results!
