Need a piece of advice about e-mail automation in ms exchange + ms office environment
- by be here now
Hi, guys. I need your help in the following simple situation.
I've got an MS Exchange server and some client computers running on XP with Office 2003 installed.
And I've got a process I need to automate. Twice a day a known list of people sends an e-mail to a certain mailbox (let's call it manager's mailbox) - basically, an accomplishment report. After recieving letters from all of these people the mailbox owner sends and e-mail to another mailbox, meaning that a certain process is done.
What I need to do is to replace this manager's mailbox with a depersonalized mailbox that will accumulate all the reports and automatically send a message after collecting all of them.
I am definitely not in a "oh my God, what shold I do?" situation, and currently my imagination shows me a couple of ways to solve this problem, which I'm going to try, and I'm not ascking for a ready solution. But since I'm not experienced in Office/VBA developement, I'd like to ask a corresponding pro's opinion.
Can you point me to a right direction from the best practices' point of view?
