Hey,
thanks for the help. Right now, I don't really care
about performace/DOS, I just want to make sure, if the
mail is sent to that account, my perl script will be
executed. It still doesn't seem to work:
Here is what in my perl file. .forward is the same:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open LOG, ">/home/lz/perl/logfile" or die "Can't
create logfile: $!";
print LOG "test";
When the mail is sent, the file is not generared...
When I execute the code from the command prompt, file
is generated...
Any ideas?
Thanks guys!
