And your post might make matters worse, as no one can propose any solution without making wild (and likely wrong) guesses about your configuration. > I'm runing a centos 5 server with postfix and cyrus on it and would > like to send a notification email to a cell phone email address > when new mail is received on a certain account. What is the best > way to go about doing this? "Best" is relative to your configuration and to your comfort level with various external software. This sounds like a procmail(1) and mutt(1) job to me. It will sound different to maildrop or sieve users, I am sure. > I've tried adding a new service to master.cf that runs a script, > but it won't run when new mail is received.

Mail comes in by one of several means, typically smtpd(8) or sendmail(1). Then a routing decision is made, and it is routed out via a transport:nexthop. I would suggest DEBUG_README.html#mail and Google the list archives before you post again. Note that "cell phone" is quite irrelevant as search term; Postfix makes no distinction as to the ultimate destination of any email address other than the aforementioned transport:nexthop determination. What you want is to run a command. aliases.5.html describes various means for local(8) delivery to pipe to commands; virtual.5.html (and postconf.5.html#virtual_alias_maps) offers an easy way to route any particular address to another, such as to a local alias which or user who might run a command. And finally there is pipe.8.html to set up a transport to external software. Of course all the .html references should be on your own machine; they can also be found at http://www.postfix.org/ . -- Offlist mail to this address is discarded unless "/dev/rob0" or "not-spam" is in Subject: header
