Hi

We are using Exchange 2003 as part of sbs 2003 premium.

We have a distribution group abc which receives emails abc(a)mydomian.com. How
can I retrieve emails from this distribution group and extract any PDF
attachments that may be present using vb.net or another .net language?

Many Thanks

Regards

I'm pretty sure you'd have to authenticate to the server as one of the
members of the distribution group; you can't log in as the group itself.

That was a bit vague. To expound, I was simply trying to point out that the
fact that there is a distribution group is superfluous; you can only work
with email at a user level. As far as the meat of the question goes, you'd
need to find a library that can do POP3 or IMAP4 (and be sure the Exchange
server is set to allow that sort of mailbox access) or use MAPI. Hit Google
for these keywords (be sure to include ".NET") and see where that takes you.
