Is there anyway to receive email in mvc, I'm imagining it probably involves setting up a smtp server and having the app poll every so often.
The scenario I am thinking of is tracking emails that are not being able to be sent for various reasons like invalid email address, receipient server down etc and we'd like to track those so we know whats going on and read the error response we are sent.
The other thing I'm not 100% sure of its how you would tie the messages together, I'm guessing you could do a reasonable job with checking the message title and recipients but a better way might be to specify a custom header however I'm not sure if these would still get sent by the mailer when they are replying back to us with the error, any ideas?
I think I've done this before but I use the third-party commercial component for ASP so I'm not sure that what is your main operating system server or whatsoever.
But you might check the source code and the component as well to help you through and build this application.
The source code is dope and wide, you might download, check and learn from that.

Hope this helps and GBU

I need to set up series of emails with time delays in mailgun.
I'm not sure this is possible without connecting to a CRM like ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, etc.
If it's possible, can anyone share how it works?
Thanks in advance.
Mailgun is a transactional email service that gives you the ability to send emails from your own web applications. If you want to create a drip campaign like you mentioned, you’d have to add such logic to your web application either through a cron-like task or similar.
There is Mailjet from the same company that offers email automation (another name for drip emails). While I don’t have hands on experience with Mailjet like I do Mailgun, it should be a WYSIWYG interface like what you’re interested in.
At the end of the day it really comes down to what you’re after. Do you want to add email sending to your own applications where you design every aspect of the sending and scheduling logic, or do you want a tool available and ready to go.
Best,
I've created an api using .net core 2 and C#. I'm wondering if there's anyway to find out information about the computer or user that called the api. This is an internally used api so ideally I'd get the Windows user of where the api call came from, but if there's anything I can find out (like an IP address) I'd like to know how. If this isn't possible at all, I'd like to know so I can stop looking for a solution.
No, it's not possible. The server knows only what the client chooses to tell it, typically via request headers. However, the client can also lie, or "spoof" these headers. So, while something like User-Agent may look like it might give you some info about at least the OS/browser, all of that could be completely fabricated.
Matters are even worse with an API, as clients are typically thin, and the actual programmer or whatever connecting to your API must make a conscious decision to provide you with some particular bit of information, which most won't. A web browser typically sends certain standard things without user intervention, but even then users can change or alter what is sent.
At the moment I am making an app. I am relatively new but have experience with a lot of different languages like PHP and SQL. My app needs to communicate with a server to post/retrieve data for everyone to see. People also need to be able to login and register. Right now I am using parse because it gives a lot of the requirements in an easy package but parse is retiring soon and I have no experience with setting up my own server.
I was thinking of making my own 'server' from an old computer but not use parse because it will no longer support push notification. Then of course the app needs to communicate with this server. I started looking online and found a lot of terms but not a real clear explanation on how to proceed. I need it to be able to communicate with iOS and Android. Furthermore I was wondering how to execute a script on the server itself. I want to do something with time, once someone uploads something it needs to disappear after 48 hours, but of course it also needs to do this even if the app isn't active on a smartphone
Can anyone tell me how I need to proceed, what to use and where i can find useful info.
My plan for now is creating my own server with something like MongoDB but then i still need something called a backend and different SDK's to communicate with the apps. Maybe its possible to install parse on my own server and add something so i can still use Push and run a script on the server itself.
All help would be very much App-reciated ;)!
The reason of a backend service or framework is to let developer focus on front end app development. Maybe you can check other options like firebase, meoter, or even leancloud. Don't be hurry jump to the decision to make your own backend.
Parse Server is already supporting Push Notifications. I think should keep using Parse. It will become the best framework for backend and API development in a short time. You can also use services like https://www.back4app.com that helps you in all process of configuration of your server.
Do you mean by create your own server running a personal derver pr you mean create your own back end application?
I have just had something created similar to the way private messages works on forums, it seems pretty standard on many networking sites. You PM me, then it sends out an automatic email to the other persons regular email address saying you have a PM, log in to your account.
Everything is fine and works but it is sending through my server, im wondering if this will cause me the possibility of getting me blacklisted somehow.
I called companies like icontact and it seems they dont have any sort of API or anything that could work with a site to transfer those emails from your private messaging system, maybe i misunderstood.
I would like to know what is the "correct" way to do it and any companies that provide the solution? thank you.
You likely won't get blacklisted, but your emails are likely to wind up in peoples SPAM folders quite often if the sending server doesn't match the account sent from.
Who's email address are you trying to send from? The users?
My school is using a website to manage grades, homework and communication with teachers. Because there is no way to get automatic notification, most students have to use it daily to check manually if there's an update (new message, new grade, etc). Since their service has no API, what should I do to get automatic notifications.
Is there any tools available that automatically notify you (by email or rss feed) of any change in a page by authentifying and checking if the value of a specific field changed?
Should I code my own script?
Is there any tool or library out there that could make this task easier?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Not sure if it works for secure websites, though.
I just found something interesting. It's called Scrapy. It's an application framework that makes data-mining and structured data extraction easier.
Has anyone experience with Scrapy? Could it solve my problem?
