Question Piping When Support App Is On A Different Server? How to? - 09-02-2006, 09:35 PM

We have a situation where our support application is located on server A, which is a corporate server that does not have pop3 on it. It does have SMTP, though, I'm told.

It's a standard Win 2k IIS machine.

All our emails are through an exchange server. So, we setup an email address located on a hosted server we use - server B.

So, what I'm not sure about is whether piping is even possible given that there's really nothing on server A to receive email?

If it can work - how? It doesn't have a cpanel to change piping. So, is it even possible to set it up?

I've setup a cron (schedule) task, which seems to **** out often - though I don't know why.

get the free vmware player (VMWARE.COM) and grab one of the ready to go Linux images. Boot that and install Kayako on linux. Stop the insanity.

LOL - if only it was that easy. This is a corporate server (global) so I don't think that'd work.

Right now, we have the email going to Server B, which has a different domain than the one the support site is on... Example: support app. is at support.xyzcompany.com and email is going thru a POP3 which is done through our domain co. at support@xyzsite.com.

Is this what you're suggesting? If so, we've already done that, but it still doesn't help with the irregular grabbing of messages.

you can create email address e.g. support@support.xyzcomany.com in your support suite machine such that you can receive a copy of the email in that machine, then pipe that message to you support suite

just a reminder, you need to set forwarding from support@xyzcompany.com to support@support.xyzcompany.com and also set up appropriate DNS records.

Even if it doesn't have pop3 on it, just SMTP?

oh sorry, i misunderstood your case.
you can forward your support email to another machine which have pop3 support and set your esupport to pop from that server.
that is a bit clumsy but should work
