Thanks everyone for the replies. I couldn't get Drop2Mail working, even when setting up a receive connector (which I'd forgotten about - thank you Richard.) I ended up using WinAutomation (can't remember who suggested that, and can't find the email that I read it from.. but someone did) and it's working very well!
Thanks as always for your time. Evan From: Richard Stovall [mailto:rich...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 31, 2012 11:25 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Sending email from a hotfolder? Do you need to create a receive connector to allow the drop2mail computer's ip to relay through your Exchange server? Or perhaps configure SMTP authentication instead? Those seem likely causes of why you're having trouble with drop2mail. Do you have any more info. on why it doesn't work as configured? Have you turned up SMTP logging and checked the results? Another solution would be to use File Watcher from Datamystic to monitor the folders, and something like blat to send the e-mail. I have used File Watcher with good success to automatically print pdf files that get dropped into any of several monitored folders. The issue with File Watcher is that it does not itself run as a service, so you either need to have an account logged on all the time, or use something like FireDaemon to keep it going. (I have not tried srvany, though that might work too.)

I may have to do it as a last resort, but I'm really hoping there's an off-the-shelf solution similar to Drop2Mail but that works on Exchange 2010. I appreciate the reply!

I’m using the EWS Managed API, via Powershell scripts running as scheduled tasks. Glen Scales has an excellent blog that has many examples of how to use the API with Powershell. I can provide you with some code samples from my scripts if you need more help. http://gsexdev.blogspot.com/ From: Evan Brastow [mailto:ebras...@automatedemblem.com] Sent: Monday, July 30, 2012 2:18 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Sending email from a hotfolder? You know how sometimes a search on Google gets you into the Dark Side of the Internet? I'm looking for a program that will run on a workstation and will monitor folders. When a text file shows up in a folder, it will email the text file out to whatever address(es) are configured for that folder. We're using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010 Enterprise. I found Drop2Mail (http://www.4-tech-engineering.com/software/drop2mail/drop2mail.htm) which is perfect, except I can't get it to connect to my Exchange server. I have a feeling it's too old of a program and can't talk to Exchange 2010. Anyone know of anything current out there that could just monitor a hotfolder and send an email to a specified address when a file shows up? Searching Google got me to a lot of those free-downloads-for-you-with-bonus-virus.com<http://free-downloads-for-you-with-bonus-virus.com/> websites.
