[PHP] can PHP talk to mail server?
Hi experts, I would like to write a script to read mails directly from the mail server and extracting the information, create custom auto-responders automatically. Is this possible? Can someone explain how the script can communicate with the mail server? Thanks in advance!

Start by reading about the imap functions but you cannot create autoresponders this way since they are mail server specific. -- Raditha Dissanayake. http://www.radinks.com/sftp/ | http://www.raditha.com/megaupload Lean and mean Secure FTP applet with | Mega Upload - PHP file uploader Graphical User Inteface.

However, these would be pseudo-immediate. A way I use to achieve this kind of action (for a different system though), is by making a cronjob which calls a script quite often (eg. every 5 min). Add a quick check at the top if it has recieved any new mails, if not, quickly exit, otherwise process them and then auto-respond. You can always expand the script in various ways. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
