Code example for foreign connector (c#) for Exchange 2007

Can anyone point me to a skeleton of a foreign connector for Exchange
2007? I have found documentation for numerous things (the cmdlet) but
nothing that has code examples. I understand the namespaces for TNEF,
etc. but was looking for a starting point, such as class to derive
from, etc.

Thanks, David

As far as I know, MS don't have an example - they certainly didn't
over 18 months ago when the company I work for started their E12
gateway project.

I'm started with a windows service that has two FileSystemWatcher on
certain directories. The first directory is the DropDirectory I set
using the Set-ForeignConnector. I'm then going to use the
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Mime and
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.ContentTypes.Tnef to extract the information
from the .eml files and format for my foreign e-mail system. The
other FileSystemWatcher is the directory my foreign email system will
drop files. I will format those and then save into the Replay
directory.

Does this sound right?

Thanks, David

Yes, that sounds like it mirrors what we have. You'll probably find
you need to use quite a few of the Microsoft.Exchange.Data.* modules.

Foreign Connector: Changes in behaviour with Exchange 2007 S Since upgrading from Exchange 2007 RTM to Exchange 2007 SP1 the messages the foreign connector spits out are no longer TNEF but MIME encoded, breaking the connector (expects TNEF). Is the change from TNEF to MIME intentionaly ? Is there a way to get TNEF
