Hi.
As i mentioned a few hours ago, im planning on writing a php script to handle auto-responders. I plan on doing this by using the aliases table to pipe to a php script, which will in turn query a database and check how many times an autoresponse has been sent to a given email address and determine whether or not it should send anything.. (to avoid mail looping problems.) anyway... I guess the problem im having is getting the data to pipe out. Just for testing, i should be able to pipe the data to a file shouldnt i? for example: in the aliases table, i have an entry.. alias:[EMAIL PROTECTED] deliver_to: |/test.txt >From what i understand this should pipe the data to /test.txt shouldnt Status: >O it? (yes i have set chmod 777 /test.txt for testing purposes.) but nothing appears in the file.. Do i have this all wrong? this is a snippet from the maillog.. ------------------------------------------- Oct 23 21:22:37 web2 dbmail/smtp[24981]: GetConfigValue(): found value [/usr/sbin/sendmail] Oct 23 21:22:37 web2 dbmail/smtp[24981]: pipe_forward(): delivering to 1 external addresses Oct 23 21:22:37 web2 dbmail/smtp[24981]: pipe_forward(): opening pipe to command /test.txt Oct 23 21:22:37 web2 dbmail/smtp[24981]: pipe_forward(): call to popen() successfull opened descriptor 6 Oct 23 21:22:37 web2 dbmail/smtp[24981]: pipe_forward(): writing to pipe using dbmessage 6817 Oct 23 21:22:37 web2 dbmail/smtp[24981]: pipe_forward(): ferror reports 0, feof reports 0 on descriptor 6 Oct 23 21:22:37 web2 dbmail/smtp[24981]: db_send_message_lines(): request for [-2] lines Oct 23 21:22:37 web2 dbmail/smtp[24981]: db_send_message_lines(): Using 2048 size buffer ------------------------------------------ Any ideas or opinions at all would be appreciated..
