using cellular text message emailer to grab web data

J

jason

Hello. I'd like to build a asp.net application that somehow reacts to
emails sent from a cellular phone. I'm currently not hosting
email/smtp, but was wondering ...

Any design ideas?
do I need to host SMTP? (currently not)
Any way to build an ap to read webmail? Know this does not address the
issue of letting the cell phone drive.

The idea is to send an email with instructions like get me this data
with this parm, etc.. then the server sends back the data in a text
message.. poor mans web browser really.

I have asp.net (vb) code that can send email to the phone.

Some info on setup.

Serving web under win2000, iis4, VS.net. Not serving smtp, my dsl
provider Earthink does not allow port 25. The cellphone can send and
recieve email text messages. Currently using Yahoo webmail. My dsl has
static IP and I use godaddy to forward/mask my sites to my fixed ip. I
did see MX setup options in Goddady, not sure what the best approach
might be.


Thanks for any help.
