Hi all,
As part of my application, I have to develop a windows service to receive
email. I already have it receiving via POP3, but POP3 is a polling protocol
(i.e I have to call out periodically to the mail server).
I need to be able to receive email direct over SMTP (where an SMTP server
sends email to me). However, I can't find any examples to do this (no matter
what I try to search for) except to event sink smtp, but the sink appears to
want to work with exchange.
So, here is what I will do...
Move the IIS SMTP to another port to allow outgoing SMTP from the
application. (Not actually required, as my app won't be sending out).
Create my own SMTP to sit on port 25. I can then immediately respond to any
incoming SMTP traffic.
I have written a mailserver a number of years ago, but in Delphi. I am not
sure what I need to do with C# to make this work. Any clues at all would be
appreciated.
I am using .NET 3.5
