in fact, i'd like to control "computer A" by sending smtp email from "computer B".
What kind of server should i write on computer "B", a smtp server ? a pop server ?
It would be easier if you used an existing mail server (which OS are you running on comp B?), then use its redirecting features to pipe the incoming mail to your python script. AFAIK most servers support that. Less hassle, though probably a wee bit more intensive for the computer.
the OS is a win32 (w2k), with IIS ... there is a "Virtual SMTP server" in IIS ...
I like the idea, but how to connect the virtual smtp and a python script ?
but ... There should be a way to be python only ... because i don't want to be very complex, i just want to get the subject of the email, to run some commands (and perhaps get a attachment file) ... but that's all
i am pretty sure that a recipe exists ... that a man has already done that !
But i don't know what to query on google ...
