External program to create content in portal

Hi all,

I need to develop a program in an external program to feed portal content with news documents.

This external program is placed in Lotus notes.

The idea is to create portal content with e-mail information and some other documents placed in Lotus notes.

Does anyone know how can I do that?

I think there are 3 main steps involved, first create the "program" inside lotus notes server, and this program has to call a component inside portal to create the content in there. I've got some information on how to create this component inside portal but I want to find out if it is possible to call it outside portal or if there is a better way to do that.

Regards,

Mauricio
