Yup..
We send anywhere from 20 (slow day) to about 250 messages a day. We have MAILTOOL configured to point at Gmail and roll with it.

Ah... you're already using our stuff. Since you're a GMail shop (like us)
hopefully you have MAILTOOL Plus as well for sending mail through GMail
"properly".

I've seen a lot of hacks for doing this, but we offer it direct and even
using OAuth 2.0. Soon there will be a GMail specific API for delivering
mail, like we have for Office365.

Seems MS is going the route of web APIs for everything, even mail, and
slowly moving away from SMTP servers. Could be the new trend. We shall
see!

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.)

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.
