Hi TBUDL,
I have the need to create a filter that will shutdown TB! when it
receives an email containing some specific trigger such as...
"Mark says shut TB! down.... now!"
The reason I want to do this is because I have two TB! setups; one at
work in the office (T1 connection) and one at home (dial-up
connection). I have set up the work connection to offload messages
from the mail server but the home account is set up to leave messages
on the server. This way, all my mail eventually ends up in the one
archive held on the work machine.
Unfortunately, occasionally I forget to shutdown TB! when I leave work
and this means that I cannot check my mail again until I return to the
office in which time, if I am out for an extended period, something
important may come up which I won't be able to see or respond to.
Thus, I thought it would be useful if I created a filter that closed
down TB! upon receipt of a trigger email. I could then issue such an
email from home, have TB! at work close down and be able to check all
subsequent emails until I next return to the office.
Could anyone offer me some advice on the most sensible route to doing
this please? Having seen nothing appropriate in the filter's 'actions'
list I have a few ideas involving invoking an external program that
performs some kind of remote kill but I think that won't produce a
pleasant effect. If an 'internal' solution existed I'd think I'd
prefer that.
Best wishes,
Mark
