email to iSeries and parsing it

The first step would be to configure either Domino, or a combination of the native SMTP and POP-3 servers on the AS/400. Dave

OK, those are set up. We sent a test email to an address on the AS/400. Where do I go to look at it? Is it in a file now that I can read?

You can either use MS Outlook or another program as a client, however if you want to inspect your mail on the AS/400 it is located in the IFS. The text portion is readable and may usually be found in IFS folder /QTCPTMM/SMTPBOX Dave

email to iSeries and parsing it

Hi, I have a project where we will be getting email messages from another company. These messages will contain information regarding cable locate information which we need to dispatch to our techs in the field so that they can go out and locate the buried cable. (We're a telephone company). My question is two fold. First, how do I best get the email message on to our iSeries? Second, how do I parse the email message so that I can extract the information that I need, (like phone #, name, address, special instructions etc.) into a file. (I can then read this file and create a "trouble ticket" in our customer care system to dispatch to the tech).
