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] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
deliver_to: |/test.txt
From what i understand this should pipe the data to /test.txt shouldnt it?
(yes i have set chmod 777 /test.txt for testing purposes.)
but nothing appears in the file..
In what file ? In test.txt ?
If you want to append to a file try:
deliver_to: '|cat - >> /tmp/test.txt'
If you want to pipe to a script try:
deliver_to: '|/myscript.sh'
where myscript.sh is really a script.
Do i have this all wrong?
