POP 3 server
-
I got a POP3/SMTP server (MerakMail) running here. What i want is that whenever mail arrive at POP 3 server, i get notified i.e some external application automatically starts or event gets generated e.t.c. Any idea?? Do i nedd to trap port 110?? do i need to design a hook app or something else ??

I don't know if MerakMail has an API for this, but a generic solution could be creating a "proxy" server that listens on port 110 and forwards all data to other machine. This way you could generate events to notify other applications of mail arriving in an unobtrusive way. lazy isn't my middle name.. its my first.. people just keep calling me Mel cause that's what they put on my drivers license. - Mel Feik

When notifying a person, the check granularity is not so fine as to preclude simply running a program that connects to the POP server and queries for the UIDLs, sending notification when new email is found. This is nice because it can be used on your machine if you can get email from there at all-- it doesn't depend upon many particulars. Just check every few minutes or so right?
