Running an E-mail Listener in a Clustered Environment
Task notifications can be configured to contain a Task Action Link control, which enables the recipient to send a predefined e-mail response to a specified e-mail account; you must specify and configure a task e-mail listener to monitor the e-mail account for incoming messages.
You can configure multiple e-mail listeners to monitor different mailboxes on different schedules. When the listener checks the specified account, it downloads any e-mails in the monitored account. For more information about creating task notification e-mail replies, see webMethods BPM Task Development Help.
* To configure a task e-mail listener
1. In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Administration > Business > Tasks > Task Email Listener Administration.
2. In the Task Email Listener Administration window, specify the following settings:
*Name—The name you want to assign to this listener.
*Type—Select either POP3 Mailbox or IMAP Mailbox from the drop-down list.
*Run Every—Select an interval that determines how often the specified server is contacted.
*Email Server—The host name of the mail server.
*Port—The incoming server port. For example, by conventional usage:
*POP3: 110
*POP3 secure: 995IMAP: 143IMAP secure: 993
*Is secure—Indicates if a secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection is required.
*User name—User name with access to a mail account.
*Password—Password for the specified user name.
3. Click Create.
When the listener checks the specified account, it downloads any e-mails in the monitored account and deletes the e-mail from the server.
