Make an application which can contact the pop3 server on port 110 to receive the mails. Sendmail does not deliver mails to users. You have to use POP3/IMAP servers to read/receive mails.
Well the concept can be quite simple. The program contacts the SMTP server on port 25 and issues relevent commands fro sending out mails with the help of a MTA e.g. sendmail or qmail. Similiarly the program contacts the POP3/IMAP servers and issue the relevant commands for downloading of mails. You do not have to 'reinvent the wheel' by creating programs that will parse the mailbox file and show individual mails. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tarun Dua" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 5:35 PM Subject: Re: [ilugd]: Using SendMail In your Application > Use port 25 and SMTP protocol and make your app. independent of MTA > Regards > Tarun Dua > http://www.tarundua.net > All you wanted to know about Tarun Dua > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Suman Mukherji" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 11:43 AM > Subject: [ilugd]: Using SendMail In your Application > > > > Hi Friends, > > I am making a mail management software and have been > > asked to use sendmail for receiving and dispatching > > mails.
