I am working on a project in ASP.NET MVC and a requirement is that users are able to upload images (using their mobile device) via email. I have an idea but I wanted to know if there is a better way of doing this.
My plan:
The user picks (or is assigned) a mobile email address to upload to. ([email protected])
The user takes a picture with their mobile phone and emails it to the address above
The email address inbox does not exist, and gets forwarded by the server to a catch-all address
The server side app checks every minute or so for new email in the catch-all and determines the original recipient from headers, etc.
This is just my initial idea. Is there a better to accomplish my goal? Is there any software (for Windows) that will help me do this?
Thanks!
