RE: Receive Email Attachment to IFS

I had started looking into this quite some time ago but the project never materialized. I don't have any info right at hand but I recall seeing some VB Script examples that can automate this process on an item received into an Exchange/Outlook mailbox.

Subject: Receive Email Attachment to IFS

First off, I want to acknowledge the list for being so helpful to me. I
appreciate the assistance provided on my first couple of inquiries!

I am working on the date item you all helped me with already and then it
occurred to me that I have another situation that I need to solve
somehow and I would prefer to keep my solution centered around the
iSeries, if at all possible. So, I am posting here to see what you all
think.

Here is my situation:

I have someone that is sending me a CSV that is attached to an email.
Our email server is MS Exchange.

At this time I assume that email will arrive in an Exchange mailbox and
I need to retrieve it from there.

I am looking for a way to retrieve the email, save the attached CSV to
the IFS and process it from there. All this would be done from the
iSeries somehow versus using VB/Outlook or something like that.

That's my ideal situation at least but I am open to other options or
ideas as well. We do not host any sort of email on the iSeries and I do
not see that changing. That being said, perhaps some sort of limited
mailboxing on the iSeries would work where Exchange could forward the
email to the iSeries?

Just thinking out loud there.

Any ideas on how to best pull this off are appreciated.

Thanks everyone,
Brian
