If someone hasn't already done it, Email-driven CFCs:
Trigger an event & invoke a CFC when email is received at a specific
email account
My first CF host provider (iTools, later Zanova) wrote a custom mailer
(circa 1998) where:
1) When you defined an email account you could specify that a cfm be
run when an email was received.
2) AIR, the cfm was passed variables containing all the email parts (as
if a form had been submitted)
This should be easy to implement using cfcs and the event gateway.
I wrote a simple but effective (at the time) app to demo this feature
Send an email to the designated account with a list of stock symbols in
the body.
my cfm would be triggered, retrieve stock quotes from wherever & send a
return email
So, if you were away from your computer, you could use your cell phone
to send the email, and get back stock quotes
But email-driven cfcs offer a lot of possibilities.
They (Zanova) even had the ability to reboot a server with this facility
