SMTP Server

 [1/2] from: mattsmac::hotmail::com at: 1-Oct-2003 10:48


Would anyone tell me if this is possible? I'm trying to make a script that acts like an SMTP server. Basically, what I want it to do is recieve messages sent to it from an email client, then distribute the different portions (to-address, subject, content, etc.) into a database. Basically all I need to know is how to set it up so I can listen for SMTP sends. Let me know what you think Matt _________________________________________________________________ Share your photos without swamping your Inbox.

Have a look at http://www.h-o-h.org/simtpop.r a little script that acts like a look-a-like of an smtp and pop server to Outlook 97 (doesn't like later versions, because they use not implemented behaviour, but it should get you going). I hoppe that helps, Ingo P.S. soon to be found on www.rebol.org the world famous Rebol library server!
