I appreciate the emails and ideas!!!
I'd like to go to a commercial app to do the work, but convincing management
is a huge challenge. (I have a better chance wining the White House in a
100% vote). It took about 8 months to convince them to purchase BVS' Spool
Suite for sending stuff off the machine.
The whole idea is to watch for a specific email that is being forwarded from
another account. Once it sees those specific emails, it will parse the
content looking for product information keywords. Depending up the values of
those keywords, either send information over to someone else or send the
information into a quote processing system. The emails are very canned.
They're generated by a server that we have no control over. (One of our
vendor sites.)

Subject: Read Gmail from iSeries
Has anyone had an iSeries open a connection to external email server and
draw it's own mail into itself to parse it for specific data?
We have an idea were email received on a specific account gets forwarded
over to the iSeries' own email account. The idea is to have the system
retrieve those email from the server (Gmail in this case) and read through
the emails looking for specific keywords. Depending upon the keywords found,
do specific reactions.
