Creating a Email to Fax Gateway

D

DartmanX

I am wanting to create my own Email to Fax gateway, but doing it "my
way".

What I want is to be able to scan a document and email it as an
attachment to, say, [email protected]. The subject would be the fax
number that the attachment would forward to. Outlook would be
configured to check that box every 5 minutes or so.

Once the email was received, Outlook would then grab the attachment,
read the fax number from the box, and fax it off via the Fax Service to
the phone number specified in the subject.

Obviously, I'd need to secure it (probably only allow certain senders
to do it, check originating IP, etc).

I've done a bit of VBA coding in my time, so I'm not a total newbie.
Any ideas out there how to do this?
