Hello,
Need to setup a script to read incoming email that will be addressed something like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] these are not actual POP account or aliases, but created within a membership system that will create a email address with their username and "mydomain.com" Server Info: FreeBSD 4.8
What we would like to do is setup a script that will be piped from file, like a .forward file that will pipe this to a script, IE
*: "|/path/to/some_script.cgi"
So all emails sent to the "mydomain.com" that is not a valid POP or aliases, will be piped to this script. My question is, can a .forward file be used on a FreeBSD 4.8 server ?? I've done it on a RH/Linux system before and using the Mail::Audit module. Was wondering if someone on the list has setup something similar on this type of server.
Any help much appreciated :)
TIA
The underlying OS won't matter, what matters is the server software listening on the mail port (25). Assuming both are sendmail (at least I am assuming that is what the Linux box uses) then there should be no difference. I would check that the SMTP server software is the same, versions match, and configurations are similar. If they aren't then you should be able to get them configured the same, but then we are getting really off topic....
