Thanks for your answer, I do understand how that works, maybe I am not being clear with my question. I CAN get sqwebmail to pipe through qmail-scanner, however, it does not carry the "From" or "Recipient" fields into qmail-scanner. Since those fields are blank, qmail-scanner just drops the message out. Then it goes to qmail-queue with the -f "$1" switch (which is were it picks up the From: and Recipient: fields) and sends the e-mail. So, I need to be able to get the From: and Recipient: fields defined before it goes into qmail-scanner-queue.pl. and I cant figure out how to do that. -- Russel Oliver [EMAIL PROTECTED]
