Program to respond to email

I am using C# for this.

I am not sure where to begin. Any search hints are appreciated.

I have an email account on my Exchange server. I want to send it an
email. I want it, somehow, so that when this email account receives
an email, given certain verbiage or originating email address, that a
c# program is run on the server where the Exchange server resides.

I really just don't know how to start on this one. I know that Sql
Server (at least used to) used to receive emailed queries, so I
believe it can be done.

Thanks for any help.
 
jm,

Unless you have access to the server, this is highly unlikely. In the
general case, you can't depend on SQL server being the backing store for
Exchange. However, I believe that Exchange has some hooks in it (depending
on the version).

Check out the article on msexchange.org titled "SMTP Event Sinks - A
window into Exchange integration ", located at (watch for line wrap):

Hope this helps.
