Hi.<br><br>Does anyone know how to pass a <b>new</b> e-mail to ColdFusion for processing from a POP account automatically (i.e. without a <FONT FACE=monospace>CFSCHEDULE</font> running a <FONT FACE=monospace>CFPOP</font> query?)<br><br>I've tried setting up a copy of <FONT FACE=monospace>cfml.exe</font> in the cgi-bin and passing the e-mail through a temp file, with a <FONT FACE=monospace>template=</font>... parameter, but that hasn't worked.<br><br>Any ideas?<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>Matt.

Anyone know how to notify CF of new mail?
- Thread starter nothing

CFSCHEDULE is the only way I know how to do it... <br><br>I wonder if it's possible to set up an automated procedure in the mail program that would run a template upon receiving mail.<br><br>Let me know if you figure this one out. I'd love to run my mail processing only when I know we've received it....

I tried that, but my ISP has disabled programmable e-mail activations.<br><br>So, I've been 'reduced' to setting up a CFSCHEDULE that runs a script that checks the POP box every two minutes, and sends e-mails back. It's actually more reliable that I thought, and less hassle than anything else.<br><br>I managed to write a little REBOL script that did the job, but only ran on my local server when I was on-line, which isn't too practical.<br><br>So, it looks like CFSCHEDULE is the only way to go at the moment...<br><br>Thanks anyway.<br><br>Matt.
