MailRecord Server

Written in VB6. Our customer wanted to add online record retrieval to their website, but did not want to expose their valuable, one-of-a-kind data to the hackers on the internet. We came up with this solution. This program receives email requests from a ASP page on their server and checks for a new record request every minute.

When the program receives the request, it parses the information contained in the email request. Based on that information, it produces the record requested in HTML format. It then sends a response in the form of an email with the record attached. The turn around time is <30 seconds based on the record size (some records are as large as 1meg). As a result of this program, our customer added the lucrative online record ability they desired with nearly zero maintenance (this program runs on their server in their office) without expose their database(s) to the internet.
