Author Receive emails with biztalk.
Jeremy Chapman

2004-12-21, 5:51 pm

We have a problem where a source application emails users pay stub
information. The problem is the source application hard codes an smtp id,
where the id is supposed to be unique. Our idea is to have biztalk (2004)
pick up the email, then send the email out to the appropriate user. Our
thought s that biztalk will send the email out with a valid smtp id.


Any suggestions?

Some possible suggestions:

1. Retrieving the mail via a receive location:
a. If it is POP3, use the POP3 adapter at:
http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/...26-E10A4EC366C2
b. If you want to implement a services-oriented approach, use a web
service to abstract the communication to the mail server, and use the SOAP
adapter to call this web service.
2. Pass the received message through a receive pipeline with a MIME decoder
3. Pass the XML message on to an orchestration, which will find the
appropriate user to which the mail is destined (assuming you need to do some
kind of lookup using the some data in the source message).
4. Send the data from the orchestration to a send port with the standard
SMTP adatper.

with this, I'd have to poll an account would I not?
I need biztalk to act more as an smtp server, because we'll be dealing with
18000 or so accounts.

Can your current smtp system write emails out to the file system or perform
an action on receipt of an email? I think with than number of accounts
polling is not an option so you should look at pushing from the smtp server
to biztalk.
