Computing via Email

Computing via Email I finally got around to finishing up the Email Delivery System I outlined before (See: Computing via Email and Content Managed Email). We have implemented most features already, and it is looking good. I have exposed a ASP-like Request and Response objects and Hiryoung is already found a killer use for the app. She is using it to eliminate SPAM. Here's the rule/script in VBA to eliminate a type of SPAM in Remocon. If Instr(Request.Subject,"Porn") >0 then Request.Delete If Instr(Request.Subject,"SEX") >0 and Instr(Request.Body, "http://") > 0 then Request.Delete Users can add their own rules blocking specific domains, users, keywords, size of the emails etc. You can check for attachments, query the number of other recipients etc., If you are a Microsoft Outlook Express user, you'd want to run Remocon before you check your InBox, so all SPAM would be gone. Content Delivery via Email Here's an example that serves offline content via email (content that is not on the web, but on my hard drive). Requests can be sent to a mailbox (to be announced later) with the subject, "Send Picture " dim sPicture If Instr(Request.Subject, "Send Picture") >0 Then sPicture = Trim(Replace(Request.Subject, "Send Picture", "")) sPicture = Replace(sPictureName, ".jpg", "") sPicture = "\\curie\kalaranga\pics\" & sPicture & ".jpg" 'thats the network path of the offline archive Response.Attachment = sPicture Response.Send Request.Log Request.Delete End If Hey! now you don't even need a website to run an e-business; just an email account will do! You can distribute catalogs, vend reports, accept orders, and provide tracking all via an automated email system. For the web developers out there, think of the email-subject as a HTTP GET request, and the email body as a HTTP POST request. Remocon provides the necessary means to write custom apps. More Answers on Remokon I am still testing the app. There's no documentation yet, neither there is a setup (It is Windows app, and needs a setup). It will be free for personal use like all my other tools are. Update 6/2006 This idea has now morphed into a product and a service, complete with Autoresponder and email deflection.
