Hi,

I need to do one of the following things:

a)Hook up SMTP events (if my server supports it, it is on Linux), and modify the message before it is passed on to the local intended user.

or

b)Create a SMTP proxy service, that sits in front of your real SMTP server.
Inside of the SMTP proxy, modify the message, and pass it on to your real SMTP server.

Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, this sounds like something that could be used for mischievous purposes. So I would need a lot more information before I would offer any help.

BTW: Do not post your eMail address in a public forum like this, unless you really, really like spam.

We have a Project Management web application; the client's latest request is to integrate it with the mailing system (regardles of the mail client, cross platform).

So the only solution we came accross is to embed a specific element within the email, thus allowing us to associate it with a certain task; so we need to intercept the emails, parse their content and if we come accross the specific element create a new task/subtask within the web application's database.
