PROP can react to files hitting its reader queue - you have to code the RTABLE to react as you wish to the messages received when files are delivered. The following is an extract from the RTABLE for one of our PROP-enabled ids:
$PRT/FILE$FROM/ 1 35 7 YourExec $PUN/FILE$FROM/ 1 35 7 YourExec $RDR/FILE$FROM/ 1 35 7 YourExec Tom Rae Senior Director, Technical Services Western Canada Loblaw Companies Limited Information Systems Division Notice: This e-mail transmission may contain confidential, proprietary and/or legally privileged information and is intended only for the individual or entity named in the e-mail address.

It likes messages, not queue elements. The only thing I can think of, is to route the rdr queue elements to another service machine (with wakeup rdr specified), and have it process the reader entry and msg the prop server with the contents. Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting >>> Steve Gentry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/9/2007 12:12 PM >>> I'm trying to get a programmable operator to do something and it isn't working. I've done some reading in the manual and have looked at some existing code but no luck. What I want to accomplish is to send an e-mail to a userid called PROPSCAN ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The message gets sent to our VM SMTP server with no problem and SMTP then sends it/delivers it/routes it to PROPSCAN's RDR and there it sits. In the RTABLE for PROPSCAN I have it coded such that anything come from SMTP will start an EXEC. The EXEC will then parse that RDR file and I'll take appropriate actions based on key words I'm looking for. Is this doable? If so, what have I missed? Thanks, Steve G.
