How to create an auto responder in ASP.

Thanks.

This isnt strictly possible.

For this to work, an ASP page would need access to your email pop account... it would have to monitor it for new messages.

With the fact in mind that ASP pages are not constantly running applications (they need to be called manually in a browser), I dont see how this is possible.

Sure, an ASP page can check email. With a bit of hefty programming you can even get it to filter the messages you want to autorespond to and get it to send the email. But for any of this to happen, you would need to call the .asp page in your browser every few mins.

A far better way would be to use a host that provides autoresponders as part of the hosting arrangement. Nearly every host I have ever come across does this.

Hope this helps.
