Email Piping


Link

Recommended Posts

I have read many articles on the subject, but I cannot get it to work for the life of me.

 

Here are the details:

 

I am trying to pip emails coming to m@eventron.com to /home/eventron/public_html/script/mobile.php  I am using cPanel which supports both Sendmail and forwarding emails to files.  If I use the latter, I get an error bounced back saying the email was not successfully locally transferred.

 

Can someone help me out in any way?

 

Thanks,

->Ryan

So, now I have decided to go with Sendmail.  But, my problem is, it isn't piping at all.  Mail is just delivered normally.

 

I tried adding the .forward file to my /home/eventron/ directory, but nothing happens when I send an email...it just goes through unaffected.  Any clues as to what's going on?

PHP compiled as a CGI binary, not just as an Apache module;

 

a local mail system or MTA, (are you using Sendmail, Exim, Qmail or some other system);

shell access to your server, whether or not you have to be root depends on your mail system.

I've seen that page many times.

 

I am using Sendmail.  I do have shell access.  But by the instructions on that website, don't I only need to create the .forward file with an appropriate path to pipe the mail?
