Given that under the covers that the system is message-driven, I believe
that you would be able to answer it by receiving it from the message queue
from where it resides and use one of the messaging API's or SNDPGMMSG to
send a response in order answer it.

It is possible. We haven't implemented it here yet, but our 3rd party
software claims this as a feature. Also, our previous vendor also claimed
it possible with their newest software. So rest assured that it can be
done. I hope this gives you at least a little motivation to keep trying
to figure it out. I too was always curious to how this worked.
Thanks

Answer messages remotely via email or text message
I thought I did good writing a small program to monitor QSYSOPR message
queue and sending email and/or text messages to
the appropriate person when a message requiring an action is encountered.
Everyone loved it, I was looking good! But my euphoria was short lived
when I started receiving requests to allow them to answer the messages via
a reply to the email or text message.
Now I am stumped on where to even begin. Anyone doing this already? Can
anyone point me to where I begin to look for material on how to do this?
Is it even possible? I did some searching on the interent but came up
empty (but not sure my search terms were accurate for the solution)
Any advice out there?
