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?

Thanks again!
