Rottingham Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hello! I may be reinventing the wheel, but I would like to find some information on writing a cron job / script that will automatically pick up emails from my webserver. I have a very specific task I need to perform, and I would like to email [email protected] and have my script take the email, parse it, perform necessary tasks and then finish. Does anyone have any advice on how this can be done in PHP? Thanks in advance!

trq Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I do know where on the server files emails are kept, yes. Then all you need do is write a script that will search through that directory and parse the emails as required. You need to be more specific about exactly where your stuck, what exactly is the question you want answered?
