How to accept incoming email

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi all,

We are going to use the JForum to distribute reports to users. These reports are PDF-files, which are automatically updated daily basis.

The report generator is able to e-mail or save reports to file. How can i show these reports in JForum?

I guess, new post creation is not feasible by email message. Instead updating the existing post is acceptable.

Any ideas?

best wishes,
Jari

It is not very clear what you want. You said that there is a tool that generated pdf reports, and that you're going to use JForum to show these files.

You want to know how to programatically create new topics / messages, which where you can announce the pdf?

Sorry about my unclear message.

I mean that I want to create new message (or edit the previous one) programmatically. The PDF is attached in the message.

I see.

You can then just create an HTTP request that sends the data you want - for example, in Java you can use commons-httpclient, but any kind of http request will work.

To see the target url and parameters, just take a look in the "create new message" page.
