MCA Service

Oleg Kozyrev Jr.
Hello all,

Currently I'm working on a project based on OFBiz in one company with tough security policy. My problem is following. I'm willing to run mca service to the email and do some stuff, but according to the security policy only MS Outlook can connect to the mail server (MS Exchange), that's why it's impossible to connect via JavaMail.

So, my question is: do anyone have an idea how to get the email via Outlook and process it via OFBiz service? Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks,

Oleg.

I think it is posible. But you will have to skip JavaMail and use the
external interface of Outlook through a Java-COM bridge. i believe there
must be other ways to do this too but this one omes to my mind in first
thought

not directly, since both are clients.
couple of solutions come to mind:
1) You would have to add some VBA code to outlook to export the entire
message on new message event. then add some code to ofbiz to import
these in, and feed them to the java mail container.
2) Add some different VBA code3 to the on new message event in outlook,
and use a James Mail server locally. have the vBA code put the james
server as it James has received it, then have ofbiz java mail contain
pick it up from james.
3) write different code in outlook to send the message to a local james
server in SMTP mode, then have ofbiz connect to the james mail server.

Thanks BJ and Midhat

At the moment I will try Midhat's one since I'm doing a prototype now and I need fast solution, but later I will switch to the third one of BJ.

Thanks again,

Oleg.
