sounds as if the perl script isn't getting called at all.
If you're working on UNIX you're probably using a ".forward" file to
forward mail to the script.
Instead of forwarding the mail to the script, forward it to a regular
email account. - and if that doesn't work then there's no way your perl
script will be called.
So try
.forward:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
instead of
|/export/scripts/myscript.pl (whatever)
And if the email thing won't work then you've probably got a permissions
problem on the .forward file, or its parent directory.
