Hi guys, sorry for the influx of messages. Here is what I have in my .forward file |/home/lz/perl/checkRelation.pl
Here is what in my perl file: #!/usr/bin/perl while(<STDIN>) { open LOG ">/home/lz/perl/logfile" or die "Can't create logfile: $!"; } For some reason, when I send email to the account, it seems that the perl script is never invoked, and the file "logfile" never created. Do you what am I doing wrong?
