Check out the new demo on Adobe Live Cycle Services. While its cost is too steep for a lot of us (~$100k), Adobe projects some interesting ideas like... when the outside recipient gets the eMail with an Acrobat 9 pdf attachment, clicking on boxes inside the attachment launches into the hosted JEE server Flex app that sends back a clarifying acknowledgement to the original UniData app end-user.
While LCS has a slick GUI workflow engine and is an amazing product, I expect that a lot of the functionality can be handled with affordable tools. Our purchasing manager here likes the idea (a lot) of receiving a clarifying acknowledgement. --Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Burwell, Ed Sent: Thursday, June 25, 2009 9:57 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Unix mail server? Here's a high-level view of what I'm envisioning: 1. Our Unidata application sends an email to the outside world, giving the recipient certain options. 2. The recipient hits REPLY, types a few characters and hits SEND. 3. Our rs/6000 receives the email and put it "somewhere". 4. Our Unidata application could periodically check that "somewhere" for received mail and do whatever with it. Thanks for your responses so far.

In short, yes, however, the first question should be: what are you planning to do with the mail you receive? I wouldn't recommend using your application server as a mail server, since to do that, you'd have to expose it, at least to some degree, to the outside world.

We can send email from our rs/6000 (AIX version 5.3) using sendmail and it works great. Is it possible to receive email also? Thanks.
