First thing I would do is check the permissions of the .forward file.  It
has to be VERY specific.  I wish I remembered what it was..

Subject: Sendmail and PERL


Okay, this is probably more of a sendmail than a PERL question so I
apologize.  If anyone can give me information or even point me to a sendmail
list or resource I would appreciate it.

I am writing a PERL script that takes incoming mail, parses the contents,
and then uses them to update a status page.

I thought the sendmail part would be as simple as adding a
"|/path/to/script.pl" to the aliases file.  Unfortunately, I do not even
have read access to the aliases file on my webhost's computer.  I called
them and they told me I could accomplish the same thing with a .forward
file, but that they could not tell me how.

So I tried making a .forward file in my home directory with the line I would
have put in an aliases file.  But this didn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas, or resources on this?

Thanks
Sheridan
