Any Chance of a PGP signing component?

Any Chance of a PGP signing component, so that i can sign emails?

Also is there a method of reading pop3 boxes and emails, using asp classic or .net, on these servers?

[paulredpath]

Do you have a particular component in mind?

A component to access mail using the .net framework would be nice! It is something I am going to need later this summer.

Some names would be handy?

Sorry for not appering helpful, just having a host that a is open to the idea of accepting suggestions and b has a forum on which to do it, is a bit new to me. Infact most of what i have seen on here, in the 12 that i have been a customer, is a real breath of fresh air to me and thats comming from someone who has been producing and finding hosting for websites since 97. Big box of gold stars to everone involved.

I have a name for a COM component for sending and signing emails, i'll dig it out. But as i have resently moved over to .NET i would rather not be using com. .NET is happy enough sending mail on it's own so all i really need is a way to sign a body of text, which most pgp.exe apps can do through the command line. In which case i would either need to find out how .net can access the command line or to find a .NET version of a pgp signing tool. If anyone has invented this wheel i'd be intrested to hear how it can be done.

Accessing pop3 i do localy using outlook, but i doubt if you would even think about doing that on a server for many reasons. So again I'll have a look and see if i can find anything.

Do you have any requirements or restrictions to the components you would considder?

keep up the good work

I take it your a .NET coder. If your working on intresting projects and would appreciate a few more brain cells to bounce things off of, feel free to give me a shout.

Like wise if anyone else out there is intrested in finding associates to brainstorm, workon, develop any of their or my projects give me a shout. Many hands make lightwork as they say.

I've been given the job this summer of automating our eBay sales. A lot of this can be done with with their API. But as it all still run's off a single email account I want to be able to run code on my inbox to find emails that I'm not exspecting, and also to check of the emails I am exspecting (listing confirmations, PayPal payment ntes ect).

I have not yet got to starting it yet. Currently working on a model for the company. I have never coded anything to read from an inbox before so I dont know much on the subject, but I hope to change that this summer.

Sounds like an email based order processing system. Thats my game. I have been developing several fairly complexed systems using mail, web and desktop code from everything from mail order vouchers to food delivery companies and electronic products such as hosting. The method of actualy getting the mail or checking against a database is the relativly easy part. Working out how you want the business logic in the middle to function is the hard part.

there is about as much to reading a mail with a script as there is to sending mail. it's all objects and how many properiies can a mail or folder objects have? A: not a lot.

Reading text in code is the other tricky bit, again it's easy to actualy find words and tags but it is working out how to pick out unique bit's of text that wont be confused with other bits thats the trick.

[WhiskyFudge]

Ok, so do you have any sample code or links to components you could give me?

Jas

[paulredpath]

Im open to most stuff guys, try me

[WhiskyFudge]

Is that a life statement or just a component statement? Cause it would mean a massive difference to what I want from you!!!!

Paul it's amasing to hear a host have that attitude! I don't know if thats what led to jas's comment, but i think after while of having an open, responsive, dedicated, proactive, non-faceless host, i might be making similar comments I'll have a hunt to see what i can find on the component front. I find .NET solutions a bit harder to sourse but i presume thats because it is a whole new world from previouse incarnations of vb/asp and the enviroment can be so ucking complicated.

Jas I have an exapmle of accessing outlook in vb6 and access vba but i suspect like me you're glad to see the back of vb6 in favor of vb/asp.net. So we are in the same boat, thats why i posted the original message in this thread. I am a demanding mo fo and have lots on atm if i cant, easely find a solution i will probably just fall back to methods that i do know like remoting. If you want to crack this one together give me a shout and we'll see what we can come up with. Are you on MSN?

[WhiskyFudge]

Would like to see the back end of VB6 especially as I've lost my copy of VS6!

I am looking for something server side, not client side. I'm not quite sure how this will work, but I have a 2K3 server sat in the office that's could be used if Cat2's security or such and limmiting. Really haven't put a lot of thought into this!

Would love to crack it together, but (always a but!) I need to get my buisness models done first, also I've never coded with anyone else so you'll have to show me the ropes as it were! But otherwise I'm up for it.

I am on MSN with this email address
