Email Command Server

The Email Command Server is an add-on component for TSC2 Help Desk that processes work order submissions sent by email and through the TSC2 Help Desk web interface.

The Email Command Server works by monitoring a standard POP3 or IMAP4 email account. End users send email to the account with commands in the message subject (requests from the web interface include XML command attachments). The Email Command Server retrieves the messages and takes the appropriate action for each command.
