Question

Have emails sent directly to a web page for database logging?

I would like to have an email that is sent to an email address, actually be processed by a coldfuson page and inserted into my database. What's the technique behind that. Kind of like when people send videos to youtube from a cell phone. I want emails sent to me to be processed by a web page and stored in my own database. Thanks

Oh, and you could use cfschedule to run the page as a scheduled task.

Use the cfpop tag to retrieve yor e-mail messages. For example,

<cfpop

server = "mail.myMailDomain.com"

action="getAll"

name="myMessages"

username = "bkbk"

password = "bkbk001">

<cfdump var="#myMessages#">

<!--- insert code to save the messages to the database --->
