Abstract: A system for the real-time displaying of images includes a web server accessed by a plurality of users via a global communication network. The web server has an IP address associated with a domain and the server includes an email address generator providing a unique email address to which a user may send digital images and a mail server receiving email messages. The mail server includes a “catch-all” email account receiving all email for the IP address that does not match an existing email account of the domain and a time based job scheduler initiating checks for any new emails within the “catch-all” email account. The system identifies emails addressed to the unique email address and determines if the email has any valid digital image file attached thereto and then downloads any valid digital image files from the mail server to the web server for viewing by the user on the webpage in real time.
