Re: Any interest in a generic sendmail interface to applicaitons?

Maybe I'm reading the SOAP code in CVS wrong but the SMTP transport seems to simply use SMTP to send SOAP message (which is a cool and useful thing to have). However, I want to enable administrators of an application the ability to remotely execute commands on a server via an email message. The key here is the email message needs to be something non-techy types can figure out. Here is a sample scenario: 1) admin sends following message to maiinterface@example.com command: help site: http://www.example.com 2) server responds by sending an email response back: command requested: help resposne: successful Message Text:

    Available commands:
        saveUser(username, firstname, lastname, email)
        saveStory(topic,title,postmode,text)

3) Knowing the methods, the user sends another message: command: saveUser username: johndoe@example.com firstname: john lastname: doe email: john.doe@example.com 4) Server responds: command requested: saveUser response: successful That make more sense? --Tony Chuck Hagenbuch wrote:

I know SOAP is a tad heavy, perhaps, but it has an SMTP transport defined for just this reason... -chuck
