Hi



Does anybody have experience how such a thing works.



On my hosting service, I can set up email-addresses that point to a 

program. Is it possible to make this work together with an ASP Script? I 

want to use a specific address, the message that arrives will be 

received by the asp-script and then I can do with the information 

whatever I want.



If this is possible - how can I access the email text that arrives?

I have different things that I want to accomplish with this. e.g:

- send information (in a standard format) that will be entered into a 

database (by an asp-script).

- working with an online mailinglist (a message that I send will be 

forwarded to all email-addresses that are stored in an online database)

- autoresponder to email



I appreciate any comments, even if they are negative.



Thanks a lot,



Flurin

An ASP script cannot "receive" an email, only a mailbox can...



Create a mailbox for your application.  Then write a script in

VBScript/JScript, or a VB exe to use CDO to open the emails and parse 

the

text within.  This could be run as a batch process every night, or if

necessary immediately when a new mail is received.

I found the code.

Here it is for all to see, its In VB for an exe file:



Dim thismessage  As MailItem



    Me.Show

    Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass

On Error GoTo OutlookNotStarted

    Set OLApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

On Error GoTo NoMAPINameSpace

    Set mNameSpace = OLApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

    Set AllMessages = mNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items

    MSFlexGrid1.ColWidth(0) = MSFlexGrid1.Width * 0.3

    MSFlexGrid1.ColWidth(1) = MSFlexGrid1.Width * 0.5

    MSFlexGrid1.ColWidth(2) = MSFlexGrid1.Width * 0.2

    MSFlexGrid1.Row = 0

    MSFlexGrid1.Col = 0: MSFlexGrid1.Text = "Sender"

    MSFlexGrid1.Col = 1: MSFlexGrid1.Text = "Subject"

    MSFlexGrid1.Col = 2: MSFlexGrid1.Text = "Date sent"

    For Each thismessage In AllMessages

        MSFlexGrid1.Row = MSFlexGrid1.Row + 1

        MSFlexGrid1.Col = 0

        MSFlexGrid1.Text = thismessage.SenderName

        MSFlexGrid1.Col = 1

        MSFlexGrid1.Text = thismessage.Subject

        MSFlexGrid1.Col = 2

        MSFlexGrid1.Text = thismessage.SentOn

    Next

    Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault

    Exit Sub



OutlookNotStarted:

    MsgBox "Could not start Outlook"

    Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault

    Exit Sub

NoMAPINameSpace:

    MsgBox "Could not get MAPI NameSpace"

    Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault

    Exit Sub



'Obviously you need my form and the right controls, but you can get the idea

from here.

Ok Alex, I have a question for you. Its on the subject of reading your

mailbox and putting it in the db...



How do you get the Actual email address from the email? In outlook/exchange,

I am only able to find the NAME of the person who sent the email. For

instance. Mike Scott, but email is jstmehr4u3@h... But no where can you

find that actuall email address.
