[PHP] Re: Reading email from sendmail
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] says... Good afternoon, all!! Is there a function or series of functions in PHP that will allow a PHP package to read email from a sendmail account, look for a specific information in the subject line, then be able to resend that email to a group of users?? I know mail can be used to send email but reading from sendmail???... Any information is greatly appreciated and profoundly useful. Robin 'Sparky' Kopetzky Black Mesa Computers/Internet Service Grants, NM 87020 If the 'sendmail account' can be a dedicated address, you can use sendmail's alias to direct any emails to a php script which does what you need.

However, the most portable way is to connect to your POP3 server to fetch the messages as you need. In that case you may want to take a look at this POP3 client class: http://www.phpclasses.org/pop3class -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
