Rob,
There have been a few articles on this lately as it seems to be a
popular topic. Here are a few good articles I found on this:

I've developed a ASP.NET website which is running on a Windows 2003 Server
with IIS6. I need to be able to run an asynchronous task that checks a
POP3 mailbox, processes an email, writes data into the database and send
SMTP emails back out. All of this is implemented and working fine except
the asynchronous task bit.

In a traditional client/server environment we'd probably write a service
to carry out this operation. The same is perfectly feasible on the Windows
2003 server box but as IIS is running all the time, as it our website (if
not just waiting for an HTTP request) then I wondered if there was some
mechanism that can do what I need within ASP.NET itself or maybe a feature
of IIS 6.

Thanks, Rob.
