Help with Piped PHP Email Forwarder Script

[k-Dev]

Hey all

I need a PHP script that will receive any email (via Email Piping setup in cPanel), then change the "TO" field of the email (to a variable predefined in the script), then forward the MODIFIED email to another email address (also predefined in the script).


Example:

===================================================

Predefined Variables:
$ConvertTo = "[email protected]"  //  NEW 'TO' address
$ForwardTo = "[email protected]"      //  Address to FORWARD email to


The message below is received by "[email protected]" and Piped to "http://mydomain.123/EmailConvertScript.php"

--- Original Message: ---
From: [email protected]
To:  [email protected]
Body: 12345
-------------------------


The "TO" Field would then be modified, and the modified message forwarded to "[email protected]"

--- Modified Message: ---
From: [email protected]
To:  [email protected]
Body: 12345
-------------------------

===================================================


Note: ONLY the 'TO' Field is modified, all other headers MUST remain original/intact.


Anyone have an idea of how I could achieve this ??


Reason:

I have an email account ([email protected]) that will ONLY accept emails sent to it DIRECTLY (sent to: [email protected]).

I need to be able to setup a 'catchall' email account on another domain, then have it forward all emails to my "[email protected]" address.

This is the only way around it.



Any help would be much appeciated, Thanks!!

Are you asking how to use mail()?

[k-Dev]

I guess so, to do what is required above.

[s]I am willing to Pay someone US$15 via PayPal to code a script that will do this.

Needed ASAP.

Email / MSN me if you are interested: [removed][/s]

[EDIT]: We have found a fix for this, the offer is now closed. Thanks

Thanks Glen Elkins for the script below.  Hope this will be of use to others aswell. (Still needs a little fine-tuning with HTML messages)

[j5uh]

ok here is what i used to pull the email addresses from a db... hope this will help someone else in the future.

 

#!/usr/bin/php -q

 

<?php

ini_set('error_reporting',E_ALL);   

 

$db_host = "asd";

$db_user = "asd";

$db_pwd = "asd";

$db_name = "asd";

$db_table = "users";

$db_emailfield = "email";

 

mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd);

mysql_select_db($db_name);

 

$sql = "SELECT `$db_emailfield` FROM `$db_table`;";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

$emails = $row['email'];

$ChangeTo = "[email protected]";

$ForwardTo = $emails;

 

// Read the pipe

$open_file = fopen("php://stdin","r");

 

$email = "";

while (!feof($open_file)) {

  $email .= fread($open_file,1024);

}

fclose ($open_file);

 

// Take info from emai;

$lines = explode("\n",$email);

 

$from = "";

$subject = "";

$message = "";

$to = $ChangeTo;

$splittingheaders = true;

 

for ($i=0;$i<count($lines);$i++) {

  if ($splittingheaders) {

      if (preg_match("/^From: (.*)/",$lines[$i],$matches)) {

        if (strpos($lines[$i],"<")) {

            // The name is before the email 

            $data = explode ("<",$lines[$i]);

            $from = substr(trim($data[1]),0,-1);

        } else {

            $from = $matches[1];

        }

      }

   

      if (preg_match("/^Subject: (.*)/",$lines[$i],$matches)) {

        $subject = $matches[1];

      }

  } else {

      $message .= $lines[$i]."\n";

  }

 

  if (trim($lines[$i]=="")) {

      $splittingheaders = false;

  }

}

 

$message = <<< EOF

$message

EOF;

 

$headers = "Content-type: text/html\n";

$headers .= "From: $from\n";

$headers .= "Return-Path: $from\n";

//$headers .= "To: $to\n";

 

mail ($ForwardTo,$subject,$message,$headers);

}
