Please correct me where I'm wrong. according to my understanding: When the server receives an email, dovecot pop server makes connection with the outside world, accepts the mail and then stores it. Postfix doesn't know or care that I have just received an email, so how can postfix send an auto reply or pass the mail on to a script? Thanks, Ray p.s., I'm rereading postfix documentation now.
