Read SMTP email using ASP.NET and IIS

Hi all.

We already use the SMTP features in .NET for sending SMTP email, but how can
you receive SMTP email using the .NET framework. Basically we need to catch
email from a given address and then invoke our business processes. Any help
or a direction to the right article would be great. We need to work with the
SMTP service installed with IIS.

Thanks :-)

SMTP is for sending email and pop3 for receiving it. You could use a .net
pop3 component someone else has already written or write your own.

You can read from a server using Pop3. Here is one example:

I am certain there are some pre-made, third party components, as well.

If I want to write a cgi script that reads the contents of an HTML form and emails it to me, what would I use as the host parameter for my SMTP instance? The example in the docs is 'localhost', but I don't know what that means or refers to. I imagine I would have to use something that was tied to me specifically, but tied to what? My computer? My email address?
