Re: Event gateway, cfmail?
Are you familiar with the cfpop and cfimap tags? These are probably the easier route to a solution that using the event gateway feature. I will assume you are already familiar with cfmail to send mail. -Mike Chabot On Sat, Oct 15, 2011 at 1:26 AM, Les Irvin les.cft...@gmail.com wrote: I want to be able to receive an email, immediately do a database hit to retrieve info, then auto-respond to the email (in real time) with some results of the db query.

Re: Event gateway, cfmail?
I am familiar with those, but how could I use them to effectively create an immediate dynamic autoresponder? Wouldn't I have to set something up to initiate the polling of the mailbox?

Re: Event gateway, cfmail?
You would set up a scheduled task that calls code to check the mailbox, loop over the list of emails doing whatever processing you need to do and calling whatever database queries you need to call, then respond to the mail using cfmail or whatever mail sending code you prefer. You can set up the scheduled task in ColdFusion Administrator. -Mike Chabot On Sat, Oct 15, 2011 at 12:08 PM, Les Irvin les.cft...@gmail.com wrote: I am familiar with those, but how could I use them to effectively create an immediate dynamic autoresponder?
