My goal here was to send myself an email of all new files received from vendors. This is assuming the files are not picked up and processed by BizTalk automatically. If that were the case, you might be able to point the folders to your archive directories and still achieve the same results.

In my particular case, we have a production serer exposed to our vendors. They send us test files, and I have to manually copy them and process them on our test server. At this time, we don’t have any access from one server to the other. So the email alert will trigger me to go process the files, rather than waiting for an email from the vendor.
