It is my understanding that there are ASP engines for Linux and Solaris
also. There are
two software packages that I know of, but neither are free.
http://www.chilisoft.com/chiliasp/linux.asp is one of them.
I have some specific questions. I think I am going about interfacing to
xmail completely wrong. I am trying to use the pop protocol (possibly to be
portable across mail servers originally), and I am running into major
problems with speed. My com object is obviously too fast for xmail to
respond (or the vb Winsock control sucks ass more than I thought). It
produces an unstable response when retrieving all messages to a collection
at one time unless I stick a nice pause in there. So I got to thinking, and
thumbing through the xmail code, how much trouble do you think it would be
to write a com object that could straight up read the mailboxes. Of course,
this means that the web interface will have to be run on the same server, or
on a local area network, but that's reasonable. I know this is a huge
thing, but has this been done before? How hard do you think it would be and
how many conflicts where will there be with the com object updating and
xmail server updating mailboxes at the same time? Right now I am just
trying to slap something together, hence VB and the awful Winsock control.
I like to do this with major projects to ease initial troubleshooting.
Anybody else interested?
