Web Script to process incoming email on IIS?

Looking for a way for a website to process an incoming email on an IIS 7 server (PHP, .Net, or Classic ASP)

Found plenty of examples on apache but we can't install the email programs needed onto our windows server.

Best answer: Self-Help Desk: After more digging we found out that the mail program running on our webserver can fire off a batch file when an email is received which we then use to call a php script that processes the email.

Alternatively you can log into a POP email account from PHP. Just google 'PHP check mail pop'. The advantage of this method is that it doesn't rely on your mail server being your web server, or on any particular mail server software.

Sounds like you have the best solution for you though...
