SMTP processing...

Hi

Just looking for some suggestions.

I have an existing IMAP/SMTP/POP server which is already in production.

The requirement is to perform some preprocessing when a mail arrives for a
user, eg when mail arrives for keith@somewhere.com, call him on his
cellphone and read the contents.

What is the best approach to add the hook to the message?
(1) Use James in front to capture all messages, perform task, and forward to
backend mail server.
(2) Use IMAP listeners on backend mail server. On new message for a user,
perform task.

I am looking for pros and cons of both methods, and possibly a better
alternative?

Thanks
Keith
