I published my first article on DotNetSlackers! “Dynamic email drop box”

I am very happy to say that I have published my first article on DotNetSlackers.com!  While the publication of my book was the first time I considered myself a writer (not just another blogger), writing for DotNetSlackers.com some how feels more important to me.  I hope you enjoy my future efforts!

This article is actually the first of a three part series.  I came up with the idea for this series as I was answering a question on StackOverflow regarding the creation of a dynamic email drop box style feature.  A feature of this nature would allow a site to have their users send content to them or interact with them via a standard pop3 server (via email).  Think of things like the email that craigslist.com gives to you asdfasd-somePost-234@craigslist.com when you post something into their system.  This email doesn’t physically exist but it still somehow identifies your post on their system and allows external users to communicate with you and the system.  The creation of a feature like this (including all the infrastructure aspects) is what the article series discusses and implements.

I hope you find a use for it on one of your projects!
