How do I automatically process an incoming mail on my Web Server using ASP.NET 2.0 ?

Hi all,





I've a website with webserver and mailserver on the same server. How do I process any incoming mail using ASP.NET 2.0. please note that I'm not asking for auto-respondars. This is greatly provided by the mail server and I can do the same in my mail server control pannel by logging in to the same.





For Ex:





I want some action to be done which may store or read some information in database ( SQL Server 2K ) and perform some work on the data that has come along with the mail.





Thanks..

Since an ASP.NET page has to be called in order to function, you really can't use it to handle incoming mail; you never know when a message will arrive.





You could put the page on a schedule to process mail, however; either triggering it via a cronjob on a LAMP server, or with a scheduled task to Internet Explorer on your Web server, or depending on the mail server you have, it might be able to trigger a browser visit to your page any time a message is received.





The library you need to work with mail messages is System.Net.Mail.

I've already explained how you can invoke the page in my answer.
