Re: Answer messages remotely via email or text message

It is possible.  We haven't implemented it here yet, but our 3rd party 
software claims this as a feature.  Also, our previous vendor also claimed 
it possible with their newest software.  So rest assured that it can be 
done.  I hope this gives you at least a little motivation to keep trying 
to figure it out.  I too was always curious to how this worked.

Answer messages remotely via email or text message






I thought I did good writing a small program to monitor QSYSOPR message 
queue and sending email and/or text messages to

the appropriate person when a message requiring an action is encountered.

Everyone loved it, I was looking good! But my euphoria was short lived 
when I started receiving requests to allow them to answer the messages via 
a reply to the email or text message.

Now I am stumped on where to even begin. Anyone doing this already? Can 
anyone point me to where I begin to look for material on how to do this?

Is it even possible? I did some searching on the interent but came up 
empty (but not sure my search terms were accurate for the solution)

Any advice out there?
