Create a custom document from incoming email (SMTP)

All,

I've successfully configured SMTP for receiving emails in to a folder. When I send a text email to <folderID>@host.com, I do see the document getting created inside the folder. It's not in proper format though.

What I really need is that the email attachment should be treated as content and body part of the email has properties. Using these, I want to create a custom document inside the folder.

I created a JS file and created a rule to call this JS on document entry. Somehow, it doesn't seem to work.

Here is my code:

<import resource="/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Scripts/command-utils.js">

function processCommand()
{
   var isEmailed = document.hasAspect("emailserver:emailed");

   logger.log("Command Processor: isEmailed=" + isEmailed);

   if (isEmailed)
   {
      var attachments = document.assocs["attachments"];
     var subject = document.properties["cm:title"];
      if (attachments != null)
      {
         for (var i = 0; i < attachments.length; i++)
         {
                      var randomNumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*99999999);
         var doc = space.createNode(randomNumber + ".tiff", "namespace:custom_document");
         doc.content = attachments[i];
         doc.mimetype = "image/tiff";
         doc.properties["namespace:attribute1"]=subject;
         doc.save();
         }
      }
   }
}

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your time and suggestions.

A better approach may be to add your own Java EmailMessageHandler, that does what you want in the first place rather than letting the default handler do the wrong thing and then trying to clean up afterwards.

I don't think your approch for generating the name with a random number is sound.
