yes the full scenario is: a client sends data from internet to a server in an intranet. For security reasons this should be done by mail. Therefor a mailserver will be setup in DMZ. > > > Do you have or can you set up an account somewhere you can check for the > emails?

The only downer is that the initiative can not go from pop server when new mail arrives. But this is a problem of minor priority and can be solved by higher polling rate of the pop3 module. > > > Otherwise you could use a mail server module like Net::Server::Mail to > receive email and take what actions are necessary. > > If you need to handle regular mail users too in any volume, you'll probably > want to set up a real mail server (any that handle POP3 or IMAP clients will > do) and then poll it using a POP3 or IMAP module. > > -- > Mark Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Internet Systems Architect User Technology Associates, Inc. > > $_=q;KvtuyboopuifeyQQfeemyibdlfee;; y.e.s. ;y+B-x+A-w+s; ;y;y; ;;print;; > Michael -- +-- Michael Meltzer -------------+-----------------------------------------+ | AED-SICAD Aktiengesellschaft | EMail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Lilienthal-Str. 7 | Phone : +49-89-45026-108 | | 85579 Neubiberg | Fax : +49-89-45026-113 | +--------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
